Lanka Images 3- A Temple

 I liked the pillars. The Buddha statue is serene, and there's an elephant tooth- a recurring theme. All these pics are from the Gangaramayya Temple in Colombo.
 Looking out from the left pavilion.

 A rich tapestry of colour adorns the walls.

 Some more wall decoration.

 This is an unexplained combination of two figures with multiple heads.

 Looking down at one of the halls.

 ..and looking up at the top of another...multiple statues. Decorative door, copper coloured.

This is one of the many murals on the outer wall on the right.
