"Known in Sinhala as the "Silver Vihare", the shine of Ridi VIhare has its origins during the early days of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Hair to a tradition which dates back to the early Anuradhapura period, its beginnings are shrouded in myth and legend. Over the centuries the vihare has become a veritable treasure trove of

Sinhala art: painting, architecture, sculpture, ivory carving and metalwork. The greater part of what remains belongs to the late medieval era in Sri Lanka's history, known today as the Kandyan period (1592 - 1815). a flowering of art, religion and culture which took place during the reign of King Kirti Sri Rajasingha (1747 - 1782)."
