Stories from Buddha’s Life, Kelaniya, Sri Lanka
(revised information)
Detail from a wall painting at Kelaniya Temple complex.
Correction: Detail of a wall painting in the image house at Kelaniya, a major Buddhist temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Kelaniya is one of the sites visited by Buddha on one of his three trips to Sri Lanka.
I initially identified this painting as one from the Dambulla Buddhist cave temple complex, also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla, is a series of five cave temples decorated with statues and wall paintings.
Dambulla Caves is impressive, isn’t it? It was mind-blowing when I saw it.

It was impressive. The detail of the wall paintings and the incredible statues. Now the aggressive monkeys were another story. 🙂

Well, turns out this is from Kelaniya Temple in Colombo instead of Dambulla. Too many pictures that have begun to blend together. 🙂
