BUDURUWAGALA
The site is reached at a distance of
4.5 Km along a bv road from the Buduruvvagala junction on the
Wellavvava Tanamalvvila highvvay. The remnants of the rock carvings
visible at the site reveal the image of the Buddha in the standing
posture in full relief and seven standing Buddha images of much
lesser size engraved from a vertical rock face in the semi relief
form. The features of the images are enhanced by the application of
stucco finally impregnating their surfaces with different hewed
Pigments. ln addition to these rock carvings believed to belong to
the 7-8c A.C. a large number of ruins are seen scattered around the
site.
