STORY OF SIGIRIYA.....

A long time ago a king called Datusena ruled in Anuradhapura. He had two sons named Moggallana and Kashyapa. Kashyapa was yonger than Moggallana but he wanted to become king first. So he killed his father and became king. Moggallana was very very angry. He wanted to kill Kashyapa away from Anuradhapura and build a beutiful palace on the top of a rock. So that nobody could catch him or kil him. This rock was called Sigiriya. He built many beautiful buildings on Sigiriya and painted beautiful pictures on the sides of the rock. Even now we can see some of the picture and some ruins of the buildings.
