Lion’s Paw
Enter the rock through the jaws of the lion! If you were visiting the Sigiriya Rock in the ancient days of King Kashyapa’s rule; you would have entered it through the mouth of a gigantic stone lion built at the entrance gate. Alas, only the giant paws of the lion remain today due to the challenge of time.
