This gigantic man-made pond called “Eth Pokuna” or “Elephant Pond” is situated close to Lankaramaya in Anuradhapura, it forms a part of Abhayagiri monastery complex. This is a rectangular pond, 159 meters in length 52.7 meters across and 9.5 meters in-depth with the holding capacity of 75,000 cubic meters of water.The tank is made out of large stone blocks stacked at an angle at the walls. There 3 sets of stairs to the bottom, in south, north and eastern sides. The bottom is not paved.
The water to this pond has been supplied from the Periyamkulama Tank through a network of underground conduits, and you still can see part of the water lines made out of stone blocks. The water is filtered through external filter pits before the water is fed to the pond.
These underground canals still work after so many hundreds years, after a very heavy rainy season you could see water pouring though these inlets from the Periyamkulama tank.

This is really interesting, You’re a very skilled blogger. I’ve joined your feed and look forward to seeking more of your excellent post. Also, I’ve shared your website in my social networks!
Thanks for sharing your ideas. I might also like to say that video games have been ever before evolving. Modern tools and revolutions have served create genuine and enjoyable games. Most of these entertainment games were not as sensible when the actual concept was first of all being used. Just like other styles of know-how, video games too have had to advance by way of many many years. This itself is testimony for the fast growth and development of video games.
One thing I’d prefer to touch upon is that weightloss system fast may be accomplished by the proper diet and exercise. An individual’s size not simply affects appearance, but also the entire quality of life. Self-esteem, depression, health risks, and also physical skills are damaged in an increase in weight. It is possible to make everything right but still gain. Should this happen, a medical problem may be the culprit. While a lot food but not enough body exercise are usually to blame, common medical conditions and widely used prescriptions could greatly amplify size. Thx for your post here.
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
