Golden Buddha statue at Dambulla, Sri Lanka. which is widely known as "Golden temple". This Buddha statue is the worlds tallest dharmackakra stance statue standing over 100 feet tall.
I love the angle which you took this form Priyantha. The blue sky with the white clouds is a perfect background for the pagoda's and the Buddha statue. What is a dharmackakra stance statue? Does it hold special meaning?
I like how the wall behind the Buddha has the purple decorations of sorts. This is very well composed and has great clarity, good color and high quality.
Thank you for sharing more of the rich history and traditions of your country. It is much appreciated by me :~)
This is so pretty, it is such an overwhelming image. Many colors that give life to the picture, nice clouds in the sky and Buddha is like he's staring right at me. Makes me wish I could see that live.
wo wo. thats almost bigger, or the same size as the golden buddha in thailand...yes there are a lot of them, but i cant remember which one i went to or where for that matter. I do remember they had these nice crepes, anyways...Great picture, gold is a great color, and just the size of the thing.
** For the next few weeks, I will not be Commenting as much as I should, I Will be looking at ALL of your Picture posts...I apologise from the bottom of my heart for this...Things should be back to 'normal' after the holiday period**
Very interesting shot, well done composition. Thank you for sharing this, I am always interested in different cultures and glad to see far parts of the world.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

That’s an amazing structure, you must be able to see it from miles away. You got the exposure right and I expect that was tricky with all that reflective gold. It’s a fascinating shot and well presented.
