Buddha statue at Dowa - Badulla -Sri Lanka.

By the side of the Badulla - Bandarawela road bordering a stream, this figure is sculpted on a rock face. There is a tradition that this was sculpted in a single day by a master craftsman (Yodhaya). This is one of the many places associated with King Valagambahu.
