Potgul Vihara Monastery lies about a hundred yards to the South of the rock sculpture. It is a unique monastery. It is believed, that this was built by King Parakramabahu, as mentioned in the chronicle, " for listening to the birth stories of the Great Sage, which were related by a teacher" . Today, if you enter the round room, which is plastered, the acoustics are still excellent, even though the roof has collapsed.
