This print showcases the exquisite beauty of 18th-century frescoes and statues that adorn the entrance to the shrine at Dambadeniya Temple, also known as Vijayasundararama Temple. Steeped in history, this sacred site holds great significance for Buddhism in Sri Lanka. During the reign of King Vijayabahu III, who ruled from 1232 AD to 1236 AD, Dambadeniya became a thriving kingdom. This period marked a pivotal moment for the Sinhalese people as they sought refuge in southern regions due to the oppressive rule of Kalinga Magha, a Tamil ruler from Polonnaruwa. King Vijayabahu III played a crucial role in preserving Buddhist relics and artifacts during these tumultuous times. He brought forth the revered tooth relic and Lord Buddha's alms bowl from their hiding place in Kotmale to Dambadeniya. His reign was dedicated to reconstructing and revitalizing Buddhist infrastructure that had been devastated by previous conflicts. The intricate frescoes depicted in this photograph are testament to the rich artistic heritage of Sri Lanka's ancient civilizations. The statues stand tall with an air of serenity, inviting visitors into a world where spirituality intertwines with artistry. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Imagebook/Theekshana Kumara, we are transported back through time, marveling at both human ingenuity and devotion. Let us cherish these treasures that connect us with our past while inspiring future generations towards
