Details as follows. On our way to Trinco it’s pleasing to see either side of the road with huge trees, Massive lakes, various kinds of Animals, birds & Paddy cultivation. The 10th century CE Tamil Nilaveli inscriptions mention the Koneswaram temple as having received a land grant in the Tamil country of one thousand seven hundred and ten acres of dry and wet land to meet its daily expenses - revealing the temple's role in providing various services to the local community by 900-1000 CE. It is built atop Swami Rock, a rocky promontory cape overlooking Trincomalee, a classical period harbor port town. The primary deity is the Hindu god Lord Shiva in the form Konesar. At its zenith, the original Konesar temple was the main shrine of the Trincomalee Koneswaram Temple Compounds, one of three ancient connected Hindu temples on Swami rock with a considerably sized gopuram. until we locate the  beautiful pasikuddh beach where we stay overnight.

While Vijayabahu's victory and shifting of Kingdoms to the more strategic Polonnaruwa is considered significant, the real Polonnaruwa Hero of the history books is actually his grandson, Parakramabahu I. It was his reign that is considered the Golden Age of Polonnaruwa, when trade and agriculture flourished under the patronage of the king, who was so adamant that no drop of water falling from the heavens was to be wasted, and each be used toward the development of the land; hence, irrigation systems that are far superior to those of the Anuradhapura Age were constructed during Parakramabahu's reign, systems which to this day supply the water necessary for paddy cultivation during the scorching dry season in the east of the country. The greatest of these systems, of course is the Parakrama Samudraya or the Sea of Parakrama, a tank so vast that it is often mistaken for an ocean. After visiting the citadel of Polonnaruwa we stay over night adjacent lake hotel .
