English text:

The Water Garden (layout plan)—Known also as the fountain garden, this exemplifies the excellence of ancient hydraulic technology of Sri Lanka. There are four fountains symmetrically built, two on each side. These fountains are fed by the adjacent two moats associated with 'Summer Palaces.' Water is carried to the fountains by underground water conduits and work on the simple principle of gravity and pressure. Another unusual feature is the shallow serpentine stream-designed to control the movement of water.

Key:
a. Pond
b. Fountain
c. Underground conduits
d. Serpentine stream

In Sanskrit this would be known as Jala-udyāna [jalodyana]

Water Garden (Layout Design)—This garden area known as Jalamal Garden is an excellent display of Sri Lanka's ancient water technology. There are four fountains here and according to the symmetrical plan they are designed so that two on each side. Water for the operation of Jalamal is supplied from the two inches of water around the two buildings with summer palaces located on either side. Its water is directed to the water flowers through underground water drains. The operation of water jets is based on two simple concepts: gravity and pressure. Another great design feature is the shallow winding water channel, designed to allow water to flow slowly.

Neercholai Digit (ground image)—The oasis referred to by the name 'Neer Malarch Solai' is a place that vividly illustrates the uniqueness of Sri Lanka's ancient water-based economy. Four water flowers are seen here and they are arranged in an even plan, two to a side. The water for the cultivation of water flowers is obtained from the two streams that surround the two buildings located along with the Kimhana Palace in these two Ganges. The arrangement of that water into water flowers is through water drains installed in the earth. The actions of water flowers are based on two simple concepts of respect and suffering. Another unique oasis feature is the shallow waterway, which is constructed to allow water to flow slowly.

These photos are taken at the Sigiriya rock in Sri Lanka. This archaeological important site dates to the 2nd century BC when it functioned as a monastery. In the fifth century, King Kassapa I transferred the administrative centre from Anuradhapura to Sigiriya in order to  rule from there. The on-site museum displays various artifacts and paintings found at the Sigiriya rock.
