An isolated rock that is 500ft in height, the Dambulla Golden Rock Temple complex has a vibrant history dating as back as 1BC. King Walagamba who was exiled from Anuradhapura due to a rebellion and a South Indian invasion, sought refuge with the monks living in the monastery in the caves. The present Golden Rock Temple came to be when King Walagamba upon his return to his throne, he showed his gratitude by renovating the five caves including intricate art and statues. It was King Nissankamalla who gave the temple its name by having the caves gilded. It will take approximately 45 minutes to tour this Sri Lankan historical and religious attraction, that has been well-preserved over the centuries.
