Sri Lanka: Giant seated Buddha at Ambasthala Dagoba, Mihintale

Mihintale is a mountain peak near Anuradhapura that is believed by Sri Lankans to be the site of a meeting between the Buddhist monk Mahinda and King Devanampiyatissa which inaugurated the presence of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It is now a pilgrimage site, and the site of several religious monuments and abandoned structures.
