Shiva DevaleÃÂ .This is the oldest building in Polonnaruwa as it dates back to the brief South Indian Chola dynasty period & x28;around 1070& x29; when the Indian invaders established the city. This is one of the few Hindu temples on the grounds. Because it is among the few buildings built entirely of stone, it is basically in the same condition as when itÃÂ was built.
