The last day of our tour we started off by visiting a sacred Buddhist place. It was a temple called Dambula that consisted of 5 caves, which were filled with frescoes and sculptures, each more elaborate than the last. I was amazed at how they could paint of the roofs an sides of the caves. Buddha was represented standing, sitting and lying down in many sizes.
What detail, magnificent. |
This is painted on the uneven roof, it is truly amazing. |
We were driving home and there were a number of cars stopped at the side of the road. What a marvelous site to mark the end of a super tour of Sri Lanka.
