Gal Vihara At Polonnaruwa


This rock-shrine is some 56 yards in length. Its front face is cut neatly inward to about 15 ft. for the sculpturing of the image…. sedent, standing and recumbent. The liquid flow of the robes, the tight curls of the Buddha’s hair …. the serene compassion of his incredible. Tha Gal Vihara dates back to the 12th century AD and is attribute to King Parakramabahu.
