Buduruwagala colossal Buddha statues carved in low relief into face of rock boulder are unlike other colossal Buddha statues in Sri Lanka. Buduruwagala is one of the few sites that have exerted Mahayana Buddhism. The largest Buddha statue with height of 16 meters was sculpted in the 16th century. The location of Buduruwagala just south of Wellawaya is lovely little patch of dry-zone forest teeming with birds and butterflies. Close to Buduruwagala is Handapangoda man-made rainwater reservoir.
