Of the more than 80 documented caves in the area, the main attractions are concentrated in five caves, featuring a remarkable collection of statues and murals.  The caves house 153 Buddha statues, three statues of Sri Lankan kings, and four statues of Hindu gods including Vishnu and Ganesha. The murals cover an impressive 2,100 square meters (about 23,000 square feet), illustrating key events from the life of Gautama Buddha, such as his first sermon and the temptation by the demon Mara. These beautifully preserved artworks offer profound insight into the island’s artistic and religious heritage. In addition to its Buddhist importance, the Dambulla Caves hold archaeological significance. Excavations near the site, particularly at Ibbankatuwa, have revealed prehistoric burial sites with human skeletons dating back over 2,700 years, showing that the caves were inhabited long before the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka.
