It is the major set of Polonnaruwa: a group of 4 Buddhas of the XIIth century, carved on the side of the cliff. The rock has been hollowed out to a depth of nearly 4 meters to create the necessary relief for the statues. The first seated Buddha is in meditation on a throne decorated with lions. The second is surrounded by the two Hindu deities, Brahma and Vishnu. The third is standing and rises to 7 m. The fourth Buddha is lying down (14 m length). The whole complex is under renovation and has been covered with a corrugated iron roof to protect it.

La présence d'une toiture métallique couvrant l'ensemble gâche un petit peu le spectacle.
débuter la visite du sud au nord préférer le vélo... et le clou du site ce sont les bouddhas sculptés à découvrir plutôt le matin pour les photos
