Sights of Isuruminiya, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka.

The stone stairway leading to the rock temple. Note the decorative 'moon-stone' at the base of the stairway and the 'guard stones' on either side of the beginning of the ascent..

The door-frames made of granite with etchings.

The statue of Lord Buddha with paintings.

A carved elephant on the wall.
Almost all the old carvings are in granite. The aesthetic sense in these are astounding.
