‪@Rajaavali‬
Thivanka Pilimage was built by King Parakramabahu (1153-1186) as part of the Jethavanarama Complex in his great Kingdom of Polonnaruwa. Since the large image of Buddha has been curved in 3 places, this has been given the name “Thivanka” which literally means three curves. Like most other structures of this era,  this is also built with bricks including the statue.

The Buddha statue at the Thivanka Pilimage is about 8 meters in height but today the part of the statue above the head has been destroyed. The statue as of today is 6.6 metres tall. The building is 133 feet long and 67.6” feet wide. The walls are 7-12 feet thick making the internal size of the building much smaller.
