Cave temples in Dambulla

The sightseeing of the over 2000 year old UNESCO world heritage cave temples of Dambulla, is an absolute highlight on every Sri Lanka trip. The first cave, Devarajalena or god-king cave called, is dominated by the 14 meters long reclining statue of the dying Buddha. The second cave is the largest and contains 16 standing and 40 sitting Buddha figures and even the Hindu gods Saman and Vishnu. Due to the larger than life-sized statues of the kings Vattagamani (1. century before Christ and Nissanka Malla (12. century) this cave is called Maharajalena, the cave of the big kings. The third cave is named Maha Alut Vihara and contains ca 50 Buddha Statues. The fourth and fifth caves are much smaller and less elaborately decorated.
