📌 Mentsd el ezt a videót, ha Sri Lankára készülsz és ne hagyd ki ezeket a helyeket! 🥹 (hasznos infók a leírásban!) Ella volt az abszolút kedvenc részem Sri Lankán, ez szerintem több dolognak is köszönhető. Egyfelől annak, hogy a legkirályabb szállást itt sikerült kifogni, ez pedig nem volt más, mint a @green_nature_paradise_ella_ 🫶🏻 A lehető legjobb helyen a “Nine Arch Bridge” fölött volt közvetlenül, így az összes reggelink egy külön élmény volt a csodás panorámával és az elhaladó vonatokkal. Ezenfelül szerintem Ella az egyik legváltozatosabb része az országnak, rengeteg csodaszép vízesés található a környéken, na meg teaültetvény, de akad bőven túrázási és gasztro lehetőség is. 🫶🏻 Na de jöjjenek a kedvenc helyeim: • értelemszerűen a híd az egyik fő látnivaló a környéken, amit kimondottan a reggeli órákban érdemes meglátogatni, különben brutális a tömeg! Én emiatt választottam a panorámás kisházat, mert így egész nap nézegethettük tömeg nélkül. 🫢 • a Diyaluma Falls a legszebb vízesés, szerintem! Kell hozzá egy picit túrázni, de tényleg megéri! A fürdőruhát ne hagyjátok a szálláson, mert a természetes kis medencékben fürdeni is lehet. Guideot fogadni érdemes: @ajantha_77 🤍 • a Lipton’s Seat egy gyönyörű kilátópont, délután sokszor ködös az idő, így érdemes ezt is a reggeli órákra időzíteni. Ha erre jártok álljatok meg a kis faluban is az úton, nekünk itt volt az egyik legjobb local élményünk, mert belecsöppentünk egy hindu szertartásba. • a Little Adam’s Peak egy laza túra gyönyörű kilátásért! Aki szereti a Bali feeling-et, annak biztosan tetszeni fog a rengeteg insta spot és a hinta is az út elején. Az első megálló után még rengeteget lehet túrázni a gerincen tovább, konkrétan emberek nélkül. 🙌🏻 • Buduruwagala Raja Maha Viharaya, avagy a legnagyobb álló Buddha a szigeten cc fél óra kitérő a Diyaluma Falls-hoz vezető úton. Szerintem lenyűgöző látvány volt, a lépték pedig egészen elképesztő. • a Ravana vízesés egy elég könnyen elérhető hely, konkrétan az út mellett található. Nem túl nagy kihívás, nekem ez tetszett a legkevésbé. • a kedvenc éttermem pedig a @thewhiterabbitella volt.🤤 #srilanka #visitsrilanka #ella #visitella #meettheworld

Uva is amazing Budduruwagala Temple The Buduruwagala Buddha Statue is the tallest statue in the country. It stands 13 meters (46 ft) tall and is standing upright. There are six other statues lined up along the stone wall along with the statue. The stone wall is about 70 feet long. Turn left at the 48th mile post on the Tissamaharama Road, Wellawaya and turn left for another 48km. The rock is found in a forest where there are about 4 people. Until recently, the area had been an isolated area of elephants. The Buddha statue is a significant archaeological site, both historically and artistically. The name Buddhavagala is perhaps best known as the Buddha which has been immensely carved on a stone wall. But to date, the name of the ancient place and by whom it was done has not been confirmed. Given the nature of the work of art, this is the AD. Archaeologists believe that it was an invention of the 8th to 9th centuries. In the center of the wall of the stone wall are massive statues, half-erect. There are three inscriptions on each side of the Buddha. Due to the size of the Buddha statue and the image of the other statues on either side, it is presumed to be a reflection of the Buddha. It seems that the Mahayana people thought that the statue of Buddha in the size of the statue would emerge. Dr. Malinga Amarasinghe in his book 'Buduruwagala Telephone' states: When Eighty-sixth-century Mahayana architectural book, The Manju, refers to the eight Mahayana Bodhisattvas in the Srastha santramalala sambala. Therefore, the Bodhisattvas may have been aware of this society and perhaps their statues were taken. It is evident from the fact that large bodhisattva statues have been created in Ruhuna especially during this period, Mahayana Buddhism was very popular in Rohana. To the right of the main Buddha statue is a statue of the Avalokiteshwar Bodhi. Its height is 7.16 meters. The statue of Tara Devi is about 5.98 meters high (about 25 feet) and is depicted on the left side of the statue. According to Mahayana, Taradeva was the wife of the Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattvas. All the statues, except for the statue, are painted in a sarcastic manner, but the feminine image here is probably made of tricolor, which is supposed to represent the femininity better. The statue on the right hand side of the animal image is the Sudhan Kumara statue. According to Mahayana tradition, Sudana Kumara was also a Bodhisattva. Its height is about 6.53 meters. (About 23 feet) The Maithree Bodhisattva statue in the center of the Buddha statue is shown on the left of the main Buddha statue. Its height is 7.3 meters. The statue on the left hand side of the Bodhisattva image (about 25 1/2 feet) is the Vajrapani Bosam statue. Its height is 6.4 meters. It is said that the Vajrapani bodhisattva (about 22.4 feet) symbolizes the sound of the Dhamma and its protection. The statue of Manju Sri Bodhisattva on the right hand side of Maithree Bosath. This symbolizes great wisdom in the Mahayana tradition. It is the opinion of the Mahayana people that he is the adviser and advisor of the Maithree Bodhisattva. Accordingly, the seven statues of Buduruwagala can be identified from left to right respectively. Sudhanakumara, Yogi Avalokiteshwara, Dhara, Deepankara Buddha, Manju Sri, Maithree and Vajrapani. The statue's great stone wall is so hard that it seems the craftsmen have to work hard to carve all the statues. So all these statues have been taken using the natural turning of the stone in a semi-elevated manner. It can be assumed that the craftsman has encountered this inconvenience when he carved the main Buddha statue. The mouth of the statue is square. Due to the shape of the robe, the wrinkles of the robe have not been properly highlighted. To compensate for the deficiency, the statue appears to have been properly coated with lime. The remains of the plaster are still visible, although they are not visible today. The statues of Sudan Kumara and Maithree Boseat have survived. The

The beautiful, 1000-year-old, rock-cut Buddha figures of Buduruwagala are the region's biggest attraction. The gigantic standing Buddha (at 15m, it is the tallest on the island) here still bears traces of its original stuccoed robe, and a long streak of orange suggests it was once brightly painted. It's surrounded by smaller carved figures. This remote site is located 9km south of Wellawaya, accessed by a scenic side road.Authorities generally date them to the 9th or 10th century. Buduruvagala does not have much historical records. Even its original name is unknown. It is thought to be a hermitage for monks. The sculptures of Buduruvagala also include many sculptures of bodhisatwa images including Mahayanatradition. *left side three bodhisatwa and thara dewagana status Buduruwagala is an ancient buddhist temple.

A three-wheeler from Wellawaya costs about Rs 700 return. Some people walk (or cycle) from the junction of the main road, which is very pleasant but can also be very hot. The 4km track crosses a series of delicate lakes. Keep an eye out for local birdlife, including many egrets and herons.
