Admire Ancient Wall Paintings

Mulkirigala Rock Temple is a magnificent ancient monastery situated on a boulder that rises virtually perpendicularly from the surrounding plains, except for one slopped side. Terraces across the sloped side of the rock lead to caved temples nestling beneath ledges of overhanging rock. The beautiful ancient wall paintings of the monastery are breathtaking as is the panoramic view from the summit.
