::History of Pidurangala flows beyond the 1 & 2 century B.C. Pidurangala was used as a Monastery from those days. But this place becomes a prominent Buddhist Monastery during the King Kassapa time (477 - 495 AC). Some believe that Sigiriya also a Buddhist monastery before the King Kassapa time. Once he decided to build his fortress in Sigiriya, he requested the monk to move to Pidurangala and had contributed lot for the development of it. It is believed that the "Uppalavanna Kassapa Giri Viharaya" which was constructed by King Kassapa was located in the Pidurangala. Pidurangala cave temple is located few steps above the road and few Buddha Statues are located inside. This cave temple is not large as Dambulla. The Boo tree and the Aramaya located in a lower level of a cave temple. The tiny footpath just by the right side of the cave temple leads you to the Samadhi Buddha statue and seems that was constructed recently. The main path towards to the right hand side of the cave temple leads towards the top of the Pidurangala Rock. There are clear steps in some areas, but not always. Anyway the climbing is not that difficult. Once you climb up for 20 minutes, you will reach a complex of caves. There is a 48 feet reclining Buddha statue is located in the main cave. This statue was made out of bricks and plastered with clay and lime is belonging to the King Kassapa time. It seems this t this place was a old image house but only the lime plastering is remaining. Once you climbed to the top of Pidurangala rock, you can get a breath-taking view of the surrounding including the Sigiriya Rock.
