Buduruwagala is an ancient buddhist temple in Sri Lanka.
The complex consists of seven statues and belongs to the Mahayana
school of thought. The statues date back to the 10th century. The
gigantic Buddha statue still bears traces of its original stuccoed robe
and a long streak of orange suggests it was once brightly painted. The
central of the three figures to the Buddha's right is thought to be the
Buddhist mythological figure-the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. To the left
of this white painted figure is a female figure in the thrice-bent
posture, which is thought to be his consort-Tara.
