• The high priest of this temple is known as PH (Podi Hamaduruwo) to many. A very capable priest who has done much for the temple and there by developed the entire area. The "selamalika" in the middle of the Barie Lake is a beautiful sight (I am sorry that the photo is not too good ). He is at present engaged in very large project of up grading the Bodiya. Which will cost him millions of Rupees and I am confident that it will be completed with the hallmark of PH.

A Buddha figure from the decorative interior of the
    Temple of the Tooth at Kandy. Sri Lanka

 Reclining Buddha  Polonnaruwa,  Sri Lanka.
    Two of the Gal Vihara group. Cut from a single
     slab of granite, the figures date from the 12th
     Century A.D. All four main sculptures are
     believed to depict Gautama Buddha (the
     "historical" Buddha) in various poses. The
      largest work is the 14-meter reclining figure,
      which likely reflects the "Paranirvana" of the
      Buddha, or the death of his body.
