Very ancient historical and religious place in Sri Lanka built by previous kings. Best to visit in early mornings and evenings.
Buduruwagala is an ancient Buddhist temple. It is located about 6.4 km (4 miles) southeast of Wellawaya in Monaragala district. The temple is thought to have been a hermitage for monks. The name Buduruwagala is derived from the words for Buddha (Budu), images (ruva) and stone (gala). There are seven statues, which 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.
