EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Colombo, the commercial capital of Sri Lanka, lies the serene and historic Vihara Maha Devi Park. This tranquil oasis is home to a magnificent seated Buddha statue, a revered symbol of peace and enlightenment for Buddhists and visitors alike. The Buddha statue, with its calming expression and graceful posture, is a sight to behold. Seated on a lotus throne, the figure exudes an aura of tranquility and wisdom. The statue is adorned with intricate details, including the traditional monk's robe, a serene expression, and the iconic crossed legs in the lotus position. The statue is surrounded by lush greenery, providing a perfect backdrop for reflection and meditation. The park's lush foliage, including the large leafy tree behind the Buddha, adds to the sense of peace and harmony. The plinth on which the Buddha statue stands is inscribed with historical information about the statue and its significance in Sri Lankan history. The gold-plated statue, a gift from the people of Thailand, was unveiled in 2001 to commemorate the 2550th anniversary of the Buddha's enlightenment. The statue is a popular tourist attraction and a place of worship for locals and visitors alike. The open-air setting allows the cool breeze to circulate around the statue, creating a peaceful and calming atmosphere. The history of Vihara Maha Devi Park and the Buddha statue is deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. The park is named after the Goddess Devi, and the Buddha statue symbolizes the harmony between the different religious and cultural traditions that coexist in Sri Lanka. In conclusion, the seated Buddha statue in Vihara Maha Devi Park is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, culture, or spirituality. The statue's serene and peaceful presence invites visitors to reflect on the deeper meaning of life and the importance of inner peace and wisdom.
