After Ridigama Governor Nalin took us to a large rock outcrop where sculptors are creating the largest granite Buddha statue in Sri Lanka and what will also be the largest granite seated Buddha statue in the world. The height of the sculpture is 67.5 feet. It was started about 5 years ago and the sculpture itself should be finished later this year. The facility expects general construction to continue for another two years as they complete terraces and plazas leading to the Buddha statue.
