For Kandy there is a page with the urban artworks, there is also a page for the historical buildings such as temples and an article about the Royal City Forest. But this place here around the Asgiri Maha Vihara Pirivena temple hill is special and gets its own page. It combines several genres and also our personal visit there was memorable. On the one hand the architectural buildings are quite interesting, as well there is just something about this space, there is some kind of good energy around if you want to believe, but also the beautiful and intricately drawn murals on the walls inside the temple are wonderful. The front prayer hall is painted quite nicely, and then the main stupa hall is completely covered from floor to ceiling. Those artworks are not just beautiful drawings, they also tell important stories and convey information about historical events. They are magnificent, but not ancient and have been painted as a make over around 2010 after the temple was renovated. But this also means there are fresh images with clear colors and easily perceptible scenarios. Unfortunaltely we could not find out the creators of those artworks yet. If you know more, write us and we will add the information.
