This was the end of our trail at Polonaruwa. The reclining Buddha carved out of rock.
I had waited 10 years to visit this and whilst very impressive it was a little disappointing. The photos that you see of this create the illusion that it is on a par with Mount Rushmore when in fact it is really quite small. His standing counterpart is 7 meters tall.
However, the grain of the stone running through him was truly beautiful as was the detail.
