The Buddha statue can be seen in the Mahamevnawa Park, another sacred place in the ancient city of Anuradhapura.

You can drive near the Mahamevnawa Park and walk a short distance from the parking lot.This Buddha statue is one of the most revered places of worship in Sri Lanka. It is a must visit place in Anuradhapura if you are visiting the city. I kindly request the pilgrims to dress in white and arrange this place in a dignified manner.

A large number of ancient ruins claiming great Sinhala glory can be seen in this historical city of Anuradhapura which was favored by the ancient kings as the main kingdom of Lakdiva for a long time. The samadhi statue is one of them.

A world famous site situated inside the Scared city of Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka, this unique and amazing sculpture of Gautama Buddha depicts the stance in which he attained enlightenment. This is a near-perfect piece of ancient art and is in very good preserved state.

One of the most calming statues that I have seen in Anuradhapura. The place has attracted a lot of monkeys as well, since it is located in the middle of the forest. The statue is well preserved even from those ancient days. Make sure to walk around when you visit as there are lot of such ancient ruins all around. Better to where flip flops than shoes as you have to removes slippers before entering religious places. No entrance tickets

This is a very well preserved buddha statue. You can clearly see all the details still, even so far as a strap line on the shoulder.

It is located near the Isurumuni Vihara and Tisa Wewa in the Anuradhapura town of Sri Lanka. Located on 40 acres (16 hectares), it is an outstanding example of horticultural architecture in Sri Lanka. According to an inscription found in Wessagiriya, the garden was supplied with water by the Tissa Wewa and subsequently released to the paddy fields around the Isurumuni Vihara. The Royal Gardens were first built during the reign of King Tissa (3rd century BC). However, today's pavilions and other fixtures are still in use. Dates from the 8th to 9th centuries. Published in the Internet and television documentaries, carving in the garden known as the "Sakwala Chakra" is an interface or a star door between humans and intelligent people. Archaeologists have said that the carving could be a first-world map. There are various ponds in the garden and ruins of small buildings. According to legend, Prince Saliya is believed to have met Ashokamalla in this garden.

The statue of Samadhi is located in Mahamevnawa Park, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka.

This position is universally known throughout the Buddhist world, and therefore this statue is one of the most typical pieces of Buddhist sculpture.

One of most special & sacred buddha statue in Sri Lanka.

Samadhi Buddha Statues, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. Many archeologists including Prof. Paranawithana believe that Buddha statues have been created in India for the first time and influenced Sri Lankan sculpture and the earliest statues can be seen in the country only after 2nd or 3rd Century AD. Quoting literary evidence, Mahawansa and Buddhist commentaries, some other scholars Including MH Sirisoma and Charls Godakumbura former DGs of Dept. of Archeology, DT Devendra and Martin Wickramasingha believe, that Sri Lankan Buddha statues have been created in Sri Lanka before India or simultaneously. To support this opinion they say that the arrival of Sri Maha Bodhi, various arts and craft were introduced to Sri Lanka. Mahawansa mentions that during the King Dewanam Piyatissa period a granite statue (Urusilapatima) was placed at the Thuprama premises. At the beginning, people may have created Buddha statues with perishable material such as clay or wood. Several literature sources mention about Buddha statues from the 2nd C. BC. However this opinion has not been established yet. The earliest Buddha statues are found in Mahailuppalama made out of marble or lime stones and in Ruwanweliseya, which belong to the 2nd Century AD. Both are upright statues. Archeologists believe that Sinhalese artists have created this statue having the instructions of Andra artists and the material. There are records that in the later period, the eyes of Buddha statues were adorned with gems and gold gilded. "Smadhi Buddha Statue" from India? Sitting posture or the psychological implications of the Smadhi or Anuradhapura Buddha image, contradict all such speculations. “In Ceylon the making of the Buddha Image developed not as a commercial art but as a religious art under the guidance of monks and sculptors who derived inspiration from their devotional worship. Among the old Buddha images of Ceylon there is none that represents Saranath or ornamental Matura type. Ceylon monks seem to have conservatively and fiercely stuck to their austere conception of the iconography of the Buddhas Image ”. "The Samadhi or Anuradhapura Buddha Statue easily surpasses the Buddhagaya image in representing in visual form the implications of the Buddhahood”, Martin Wickrakasingha - 1968. Early Anuradhapura period (2nd C AD to 5th C AD), Sri Lankan sculptor has shown his ability to create Buddha statues, which depicted the Budhha’s sublime qualities such as serenity, compassion, loving kindness, and deep meditation in a very simple manner. The facial expression is very effective. According to the Archaeologist, "Samadhi Buddha Statue" depicts following Main features. - Robe covers single shoulder - No pleats of the robe and it is shown by just a line in the early period - Full round hair with wide forehead - Facial expression of compassion, kindness and deep meditation, serenity and spiritual purity. - Deep Meditation Posture This is the period that the Sri Lankan Buddha statues started to show the Sinhalesevtradition. What the Sri Lankan sculptor wanted was not to follow the texts on iconography to the letter but to show sublime qualities of the Buddha.

Very beautiful and calm area. Ancient place. Ranmasu Uyana is a park in Sri Lanka containing the ancient Magul Uyana (Royal Gardens). It is situated close to Isurumuni Vihara and Tissawewa in the ancient sacred city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. It sits on approximately 40 acres , and is a noted example of Sri Lankan garden architecture of the pre-Christian era. According to an inscription found in Vessagiriya, the water to the park was supplied by Tessa Wewa and then released to rice fields around Isurumuni Vihara.

Has some great ponds which were built in the Anuradhapura Era. There is an unknown artwork called the 'Star-Gate' which depict unearthly creatures and some celestial references. You can access this place free of charge and explore at your own.

(Translated by Google) The monuments I describe here are royal bathrooms, so at least they are called in a beautifully situated park, it consists of not enough well-preserved two pools, one for the nobility staying with the king for the second time, typically only and only for the king, the water was supplied from an artificial lake adjacent these baths as well as the guide showed us the place of meditation so at least he called it located on the back of one of the rock outliers that are in that area (Original) Opisywane tutaj przeze mnie zabytki to łazienki królewskie tak przynajmniej się nazywają w pięknie położonym parku składa się na nie dość dobrze zachowane dwa baseny jeden dla szlachty przebywającej razem z królem po raz drugi typowo tylko i wyłącznie dla króla woda była doprowadzana z sztucznego jeziora które sąsiaduje z tymi łaźniami jak również przewodnik pokazał nam miejsce medytacji tak przynajmniej to nazwał znajdujące się z tyłu jednego z ostańców skalnych które znajdują się w tamtym rejonie
