Dewanagala rajamaha viharaya(89-77bc)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Tampita Viharaya belonging to the Kandyan kingdom. Today a new building has been built surrounding the Tampita Viharaya.

A Tampita Viharaya is a structure built on a wooden platform which rests on number of stone stumps usually 3-4 feet tall. The roof is held by a structure built of timber and the walls are generally made of wattle and daub. These buildings were a popular religious architectural design during the Kandyan period.

A seated Buddha statue underneath an elaborate dragons arch (makara thorana) lie at the center of the Tampita Vihara image house in Devanagala. Two statues of deities stand beside seated Buddha. Next to the deities stand two standing Buddha statues and seated Buddha statues facing each other.

The Makara Thorana (Dragon Arch) above the main statue is unique. in most cases, two dragons on the sides are facing upwards towards the “Kihibi Muhuna” at the upper center. Only the Kihibi Muhuna is looking straight forward at you. Here you will find the dragons of the Makara Thorana facing towards you with a comical grin on their face.
