Stairs to the kingdom of Kashyap

Sigiriya. There is a legend that Prince Kashyapa built the entrance to the fortress in the form of a lion's head and paws to intimidate Ravana, the former mythical ruler of Sri Lanka. Kashyapa believed that when Ravana returned, he would see that the plateau was occupied by his palace, and the terrible lion would not allow God to claim his former place.
