Description
It's well worth … a visit to see its wonderful frescoes (LONELY PLANET 2003: 255) of the Uda Vihara (Upper Temple) at the –>Ridi Vihara. SITUATION: In one way or another nearby (LONELY PLANET 2003: 255) the –>Pahala Vihare of the –>Ridi Vihara. CULTURAL HISTORY - rock art: … built by King Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe, the entrance has a Kandyan-period moonstone. It's interesting to try to pick out some of the clever visual tricks used by the fresco artists. In one case, what appears to be an elephant at a distance reveals itself on closer inspection to be a formation of nine maidens. Hindu deities and images of the Buddha are represented in the caves (LONELY PLANET 2003: 255).
