Buddhist art in Sri Lanka

Buddhism was introduced into Sri Lanka in the middle of the 3rd century BC, and 67.3% of the residents still believe in Buddhism. For more than two thousand years, Buddhist culture has been the mainstream of Sri Lankan culture. Buddhist art in Sri Lanka generally belongs to the aforementioned 1 system, which has a great influence on Southeast Asia. The stupa stupa in the era of Anura Depreux is modeled after the Sangji stupa in India, which is particularly similar to the Lavoti stupa in armel, South India, but generally larger than the Indian stupa in the same period. The earliest Sri Lankan Buddha statues, such as the limestone carved Buddha statues found in the ruins of Lisai Tower in Fanwei (4th century), are armel-Lavoti style statues, and the clothing lines are represented by single convex lines. The Sigiriya mural (at the end of the 5th century) is the earliest existing Buddhist painting in Sri Lanka, which is comparable to the Ajanta Grottoes mural in India.
