Hatadage

Hatadage is an old relic sanctuary in the city of Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. It was worked by King Nissanka Malla, and had been utilized to keep the Relic of the tooth of the Buddha. The Hatadage had been fabricated utilizing stone, block and wood, albeit just parts of the block and stone dividers presently remain. It seems to have been a two-story structure, yet the upper story has now been decimated. Three Buddha statues cut out of stone shake are situated inside an assembly of the holy place.

The holy place is encompassed by a stone divider, 120 feet (37 m) long and 90 feet (27 m) wide. On its southern side is an entryway enriched with stone carvings, prompting a stone cleared patio. The fundamental access to the holy place, or, in other words with stone carvings and a sandakada pahana, is specifically before it. Another littler entryway is set on the eastern side of the place of worship.

The place of worship has had a wooden superstructure with a tiled rooftop. Nonetheless, just the dividers presently remain. The dividers of the sanctum are made of block, and the external dividers are secured with stone plates. The fundamental passage prompts a little chamber, 27 feet (8.2 m) long and 21 feet (6.4 m) in width. The bases of its dividers are embellished with outlines of lotus blossoms and lions. This chamber contains six stone sections and a staircase that had prompted the upper floor. The square molded primary chamber is situated to the back of this external chamber. Every one of its sides is 35 feet (11 m) long and contains four windows.
