Kelaniya Temple Painting (IMG_2226b)

            Painting by Solias Mendis depicting the parents with the baby that was to grow up and become the Buddha of this era.

Kelaniya Great High Temple is one of Sri Lanka's most revered sacred Buddhist sites as it is believed to mark the location of a sermon given by the Buddha during what is believed to be his third visit to the island of Lanka.  Kelaniya is one of 16 Solosmasthana sites on the island that Sri Lankan Buddhists believed were visited by the Buddha during his 3 visits to the island.
