Description: |
|
Buduruwagala is an ancient buddhist temple in Sri Lanka. The
complex consists of seven statues that date back to the 10th
century. The gigantic Buddha statue still bears traces of its
original stuccoed robe and a long streak of orange suggests it
was once brightly painted. The central of the three figures to
the Buddha's right is thought to be the Buddhist mythological
figure-the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. To the left of this white
painted figure is a female figure in the thrice-bent posture,
which is thought to be his consort-Tara. |
