About "Largest reclining Buddha statue at Gal Viharaya"

by Inez Wijker

About the artwork

The reclining buddha, which depicts the Buddha's parinirvana, is the largest in Gal Vihara. At 46 feet 4 inches (14.12 m) in length, the reclining image is the largest statue in Gal Vihara, and also one of the largest sculptures in Southeast Asia. It depicts the parinirvana of the Buddha, who is lying on his right side with the right arm supporting the head on a bolster, while the left arm lies along the body and thigh. The palm of the right hand and the soles of the feet have a single lotus flower carved on them.Charles Godakumbure, a former Commissioner of the Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka, has stated that the bolster upon which the Buddha rests his head has been so well carved that it looks like a cotton stuffed pillow rather than one carved from rock.The upper foot?the left foot of the buddha?is slightly withdrawn to indicate that the image depicts that the Buddha has attained parinirvana, and is not merely lying down.
