Boat Show Srilanka

Not only Art of Sri Lanka , but Sri Lanka’s architectural heritage too is very much influenced and shaped by Buddhist traditions. Prominent among the architectural edifices are the dagobas which are sighted everywhere in the country.

Built in the shape of a dome, the dagobas often enshrine relics of the Buddha, such as a hair or a tooth, and is casually massively constructed of brick covered with a coat of plaster and painted white.

Ancient temple sites are featured by statues of Buddha which are often carved from the living rock of basalt crags and cliffs. Frescoes like those located at Sigiriya may display beautiful women temple dancers or deities.
