Although the Independent Square in downtown Colombo is small, its position in Sri Lanka is similar to our Tiananmen Square. It was once the site of Sri Lanka's independence ceremony on February 4, 1948. The Independent Memorial Hall in the center of the square was built to imitate the hall where the royal family met the pilgrims during the Kantian Dynasty. In the center of Independence Square stands a memorial hall, which is designed with Sri Lankan cartoon color. The beams and pillars of the memorial are engraved with elephants, lions and patterns describing the history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. The memorial hall also has a small museum with reliefs close to the roof, describing the history of Sri Lanka from the 5th century B.C. to 1948 B.C. when it became independent. Around the Memorial of Independence, there are also 60 stone lions, which symbolize the Sinhalese lion statues. Each lion represents a king of Sri Lanka from dynasties to dynasties. These lion stone carvings of the same body fully reflect the style of the ancient traditional culture of Kanti, Sri Lanka.
