Sri Lanka has a long history of Buddhism, which goes beyond 2500 years. 79% of the Sri Lankan population are Buddhists. Aukana Buddha is the tallest Buddha statue in Sri Lanka.
Aukana statue carved out of the living rock. This statue’s expression is serene & from his curled hair there sprouts the flame called “siraspata” signifying the power of enlightenment. Though the statue is large & stands straight up with feet firmly planted on the lotus stone pedestal, the body retains a graceful quality enhanced by beautifully flowing drapery clinging to the body.
The magnificent free-standing statue carved out of a single rock is the tallest Buddha statue in existence today. After the destruction of statues at Bamiyan in Afghanistan, the Aukana Buddha has gained even greater significance in the Buddhist World.
