Buduruwagala

Carved into a towering rock in Sri Lanka’s Uva Province, Buduruwagala is home to the island’s tallest rock-cut Buddha statue, standing 15 meters tall. Dating to the 10th century, this serene figure is flanked by six others from Mahayana tradition. Still bearing traces of ancient pigment, these carvings radiate spiritual grace, offering a tranquil glimpse into Sri Lanka’s sacred artistic legacy.
