Stargate of Ranmasu Uyana

Tucked away on the side of a boulder face at Ran Masu Uyana, also known as The Royal Goldfish Park, nestled between Tissa Wewa and Isurumuniya Rock Temple in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, is an enigmatic ancient artifact known locally as the "Bawa Chakraya" or the "Sakwala Chakraya."

This circular petroglyph, measuring 6 feet in diameter, is adorned with strange symbols and has piqued the interest of historians, archaeologists, pre-historic investigators, and even believers of extraterrestrial life.

According to the Archaeological Survey Report of HCP Bell in 1911, the center of the chakra consists of a large circle with seven concentric rings, enclosed within a square measuring 1 ft 2 in. Cross lines are drawn vertically and horizontally from the encircling hand, cutting the chakra into quadrants. Further, parallel lines divide the circles vertically into ten strips or slices, ranging in width from 3 in. to 9 in., but matching on both sides of the central vertical line.
