Pidurangala Reclining Buddha

On the first landing is located shallow cave with a beautiful 12.5 meter-long statute of a recumbent Buddha. This statue was at one time the largest brick statue of Buddha in the world. The head and torso of the statue were destroyed by treasure hunters in the 1960s and have been reconstructed.
