Buddha statue being constructed at Rambodagala Moneragala Vihara
Turn to the right from the Kurunegala - Dambulla road near the 51st mile post to go to Ridivihara. Go past Ridivihara and you will come to Rambadagalla Moneragala Viharaya. A stupendous Buddha statue is being carved out of solid rock by some artisans from Thamilnadu. The Chief of them is Padmashree Muthaiah M Stapathy. Work started in 2002 and has already cost I am told 350 lakhs of rupees. It would be 'in the round' and would be double the size of the Aukana statue. I went to see it being made. The above is a picture I took. Do go and see it being constructed.
