» Statue of King Parakramabahu
On the Southern side of the Parakrama Samudra and south of the picturesque lakeside Resthouse is another well known Polonnaruwa monument - a striking stone colossus of a bearded man holding in his hands what seems to be a yoke.
The care-worn expression hints at royalty (heads that wear crowns seem universally to be uneasy!) and popular belief identifies it as Parakramabahu the Great.
