CENTRAL FIGURE IN WHITE IS AVALOKITESVARA TO THE LEFT IS A FEMALE FIGURE THOUGHT TO BE HIS CONSORT TARA; THE THIRD FIGURE IS PRINCE SUDHANA Buduruwagala is an ancient buddhist temple in Sri Lanka. The complex consists of seven statues and belongs to the Mahayana school of thought. The statues date back to the 10th century. The gigantic Buddha statue still bears traces of its original stuccoed robe and a long streak of orange suggests it was once brightly painted. The central of the three figures to the Buddha's right is thought to be the Buddhist mythological figure-the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. To the left of this white painted figure is a female figure in the thrice-bent posture, which is thought to be his consort-Tara.
