This is one of the most interesting temples I have ever been to. It is planned out very well and interesting how they built caves from the rocks to make the temple.
We thought Sigiraya was over! haha!!! a bit of hiking to go up to the temple!
Dambulla Cave temples This breathtaking cave temple consists of a complex ( 5 caves ) of Buddhist image houses. Its rock ceiling is one large sweep of colorful frescoes (2,500 sq meters ) , some of which dates back to over 2,000 years, which depicts Buddhist mythology, and the tales of the Buddha’s previous births. This cave temple has the largest number of Buddha statues (158 Buddhas) all housed in one place, including a 14 meter long, colossal figure of the recumbent Buddha carved out of the rock.
This was where the 1st Century B.C. King was kept exiled in a cave by a monk. #Dambullacaves #srilankrew #srilankanstyle
You cannot enter temples in shorts or sleeveless so our tourguide provided sarongs for those who were in shorts. No shoes as well so if you do not want to walk barefoot Bring socks! or good thing our tourguide had socks 🙂 Sponsored by HSBC as per Kim! haha!! At Vishnu Deity Dambulla cave temples.
