The area was once a vast forest, but due to storms and landslides, it was transformed into a hill, and King Kashyapa (AD 477–495) chose it as the site of his new capital. On top of this boulder, he constructed his palace, which he then painted with vibrant frescoes. He constructed a huge lion-shaped gateway on a small plateau about halfway up the side of this mountain. This building gave this location its moniker, Snhgiri, or the Lion Rock.

After the king's passing, the city's capital and royal house were left in ruins. Up until the fourteenth century, it was utilized as a Buddhist sanctuary. Currently, a s a World ...........  One of the finest examples of ancient city planning still exists today.
