Giant Samadhi Buddha statue on top of the Elephant rock in Kurunegala city, Sri Lanka
This image was taken in Kurunegala, an important city in Sri Lanka. It is a view from the top of a large rock called Athugala in Kurunegala.
Best place in Kurunegala region to get an amazing panoramic view of the area. It is just a 30 minutes hike from the bottom of the rock. There's a giant 60m tall Buddha statue at the top of the rock as well. It is pretty much the landmark of Kurunegala region. Not a big tourist attraction. But worth a visit if you have some free time.
