History

One of the best specimens of bathing tanks or pools in ancient Sri Lanka is the 

pair of pools known as "Kuttam Pokuna" (Twin Ponds/Pools). The said pair of 

pools were built by the Sinhalese in the ancient kingdom of Anuradhapura. 

These are considered one of the significant achievements in the field of 

hydrological engineering and outstanding architectural and artistic creations 

of the ancient Sinhalese.
