A multiple views postcard on Yapahuwa (යාපහුව), one of the ephemeral
capitals of Sri Lanka. It acted as the capital in facing invasions from South
India in 1272. It was built around a huge granite rock rising 100m above the
surrounding lowlands. The staircase, the stone lion and the Buddha statues are shown in this postcard. Thanks Mikram.
A Rs 15 stamp on stamp and a Rs10 volleyball stamp were
used. They were cancelled at Colombo General Hospital on 31.10.2017.
