Ridi Viharaya(银寺)

里迪加玛附近一座公元前 2 世纪的石窟寺,因这里发现的银矿而得名,拥有精美的康提壁画和荷兰瓷砖装饰。

概述

Ridi Viharaya(银庙)是一座宁静的岩石洞穴修道院,坐落在 Ridigama 村附近的巨石之中,位于库鲁内格勒以东约 20 公里处。其神殿内供奉着卧佛、色彩丰富的康提时期壁画,以及一座不寻常的祭坛,祭坛上铺着蓝白色代尔夫特瓷砖,描绘了殖民时代的圣经场景。周围洞穴中的古代婆罗米铭文记录了该遗址的古老历史。

历史

Tradition holds that silver ore was discovered here in the 2nd century BCE and used by King Dutugemunu to help fund the great Ruwanwelisaya stupa at Anuradhapura, and the king built the temple in gratitude. The complex was later patronised and embellished by the Kandyan kings, whose artists added the murals and decorative work that survive today.
