The statue near the Potgul Vehera in Polonnaruwa commonly known as the statue of Parakramabahu I is a stone sculpture dating back to the Polonnaruwa period of ancient Sri Lanka. Its identity is uncertain although the widely accepted theory is that it is a statue of Parakramabahu I. However it has also been suggested as the statue of a sage. Carved on a large boulder the statue depicts a majestic figure with a grave expression holding a book or yoke in his hands.
