Art Gallery - Danakirigala Raja Maha Viharaya
Today we are talking about Danakirigala Raja Maha Viharaya which leased an art gallery ..
This is a very ancient temple located near Mawanella in the Kegalle District ...
In the past that great rock was known as 'Vaddammana Pawwa'.
According to an inscription with pre-Brahmin script, this sacred land has a long history.
The history of this sacred place goes back to the time of the second visit of the Supreme Buddha to Ceylon.
Many believe that this was the place where King Chulodara organized his army during the war between King Chulodara and King Mahodhara.
It is also said that this sacred place received the royal patronage of King Walagamba during the Anuradhapura period ...
The reason I say this cave temple is really like a small art gallery ..
Danakirigala Cave Temple is a place that shows the unique features of Kandy period paintings and sculptures.
Inside the cave are three Buddha statues with three dragon pandals.
These dragon pandals are very colorful.
And complete ...
There are standing statues, a sleeping Buddha statue as well as a statue of Lewke Disawa which is said to have been renovated during the Kandy era.
He has to climb many stone steps
Although this sacred place is not a popular temple with large nameplates, it is literally a quiet backyard ...
When viewed from this sacred place, one can see a beautiful view of the surroundings and many mountain ranges in the Sabaragamuwa and Central Provinces ...
If you come here too, don't forget to worship this sacred place ...
