Carved into the rock face at Isurumuni, a sacred site in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, this ancient artifact is an awe-inspiring testament to the country's rich religious heritage. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this carving bring it to life, evoking a sense of divine power and mysticism. The skillful craftsmanship is evident in every stroke, as Parjanya stands tall with his majestic horse by his side.
