The Polonnaruwa Vatadage is an ancient structure dating back to the Kingdom of Polonnaruwa of Sri Lanka. It is believed to have been built during the reign of Parakramabahu I to hold the Relic of the tooth of the Buddha or during the reign of Nissanka Malla of Polonnaruwa to hold the alms bowl used by the Buddha. Both these venerated relics would have given the structure a great significance and importance at the time. Located within the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, it is the best preserved example of a vatadage in the country, and has been described as the "ultimate development" of this type of architecture. Abandoned for several centuries, excavation work at the Polonnaruwa Vatadage began in 1903.

Se cree que fue construido durante el reinado de para sostener el (la reliquia del diente de Buda) o durante el reinado de para sostener el cuenco de limosnas usado por Buda. Ambas reliquias veneradas habrían dado a la estructura un gran significado e importancia en ese momento. Ubicado dentro de la antigua ciudad de Polonnaruwa, es el ejemplo mejor conservado de un en el país, y ha sido descrito como el "último desarrollo" de este tipo de arquitectura. Abandonado durante varios siglos, los trabajos de excavación en Polonnaruwa Vatadage comenzaron en 1903. Construida para la protección de una pequeña estupa, la estructura tiene dos plataformas de piedra decoradas con relieves. A la plataforma inferior se accede a través de una única entrada orientada al norte, y a la segunda plataforma a través de cuatro puertas orientadas hacia los cuatro puntos cardinales. La plataforma superior, rodeada por una pared de ladrillos, contiene la estupa. Cuatro estatuas de Buda están sentadas a su alrededor, cada una frente a una de las entradas. También se habían colocado aquí tres filas concéntricas de columnas de piedra, presumiblemente para soportar un techo de madera. Toda la estructura está decorada con tallas de piedra. Algunas de las tallas en Polonnaruwa Vatadage, como sus sandakada pahanas, se consideran los mejores ejemplos de tales características arquitectónicas. Aunque algunos arqueólogos han sugerido que también tenía un techo de madera, otros cuestionan esta teoría. (es)

Abandoned for several centuries, excavation work at the Polonnaruwa Vatadage began in 1903. Built for the protection of a small stupa, the structure has two stone platforms decorated with elaborate stone carvings. The lower platform is entered through a single entrance facing the north, while the second platform can be accessed through four doorways facing the four cardinal points. The upper platform, surrounded by a brick wall, contains the stupa. Four Buddha statues are seated around it, each facing one of the entrances. Three concentric rows of stone columns had also been positioned here, presumably to support a wooden roof. The entire structure is decorated with stone carvings. Some of the carvings at the Polonnaruwa Vatadage, such as its sandakada pahanas, are considered to be the best examples of such architectural features. Although some archaeologists have suggested that it also had a wooden roof, this theory is disputed by others. (en)
