Context:Kungenzeka ukuthi indawo ezungeze iSigiriya yayihlala abantu kusukela ezikhathini zangaphambi komlando. Kunobufakazi obucacile bokuthi izindawo eziningi zokucasha emadwaleni nemihume eseduze kwakuhlala izindela zamaBuddha nama-ascetics kusukela ekuqaleni kwekhulu lesi-3 BC. Ubufakazi bokuqala bokuthi abantu bahlala eSigiriya yindawo yokukhosela edwaleni i-Aligala empumalanga yedwala laseSigiriya, okukhombisa ukuthi le ndawo yayihlala cishe eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezinhlanu edlule ngesikhathi seMesolithic.  Izindawo zokuhlala zezindela zamaBuddha zasungulwa phakathi nekhulu lesithathu BC emithambekeni esentshonalanga nasenyakatho yamagquma agcwele amatshe azungeze idwala laseSigiriya. Kwakhiwa izindawo zokukhosela eziningana zamadwala noma imihume phakathi nalesi sikhathi. Lezi zindawo zokukhosela zazenziwe ngaphansi kwamadwala amakhulu, ezinemigodi eqoshiwe ezungeze imilomo yomhume. Kunemibhalo eqoshiwe edwaleni eseduze nezinsika zezindlu zokukhosela eziningi, eqopha ukunikelwa kwalezi zindawo zokukhosela ezinhlanganweni zezindela zamaBuddha njengezindawo zokuhlala. Lezi zakhiwa esikhathini esiphakathi kwekhulu lesi-3 B.C.E. nekhulu lokuqala C.E.  Ngo-477 AD, uKashyapa I, indodana yenkosi ngomlingani ongeyena owaseNdlunkulu, wathatha isihlalo sobukhosi eNkosini uDhatusena, kulandela ukuvukelwa kombuso okwasekelwa nguMigara, umshana wenkosi nomlawuli wezempi. Indlalifa engokomthetho, uMoggallana, ngenxa yokwesaba ukuphila kwayo, yabalekela eNingizimu India. Esaba ukuhlaselwa uMoggallana, uKashyapa wathuthela inhloko-dolobha kanye nendawo yakhe yokuhlala enhloko-dolobha yendabuko yase-Anuradhapura waya eSigiriya ephephe kakhudlwana. Ngesikhathi sokubusa kweNkosi uKashyapa (477 kuya ku-495 AD), iSigiriya yathuthuka yaba idolobha eliyinkimbinkimbi nenqaba. Iningi lezakhiwo eziyinkimbinkimbi ezisesiqongweni sedwala nezikuzungezile, ezihlanganisa izakhiwo zokuzivikela, izigodlo nezingadi, zaqala kule nkathi.
