Gal Potha (Stone Book)


A massive 8 metre long and 4.3 metre wide stone slab, which lies by the side of the Hatadage is inscribed with the deeds of King Nissankamalla. The massive inscription, amongst other things, records Nissankamalla's brief invasion of India in glowing terms, and details of his relations with foreign states, as far away as modern Pakistan and Indonesia.
