Ritigala: Mountain Rage of the Monkey God

A mountain range where the Monkey God (found in Chinese mythology) is known to have stepped here to search for something that was stolen from him. There is a forest monastery that I hope to visit in my next trip to Sri Lanka.

The lake was built in the 5th century to supply water to Anuradhapura. The Avukana Buddha faces the direction of the lake.
