Samadhi Statue

This masterpiece is located next to the palace of Mahasena, in the ruins of Anuradhapura. It depicts Buddha in the state of Samadhi, a state of advanced meditation. They say it dates back to the third or fourth century. The Buddha is protected by a concrete roof so that it doesn't get damaged. Around there are souvenir stalls. The features of the Buddha are very fine, and the artwork is also a sacred place. You have to remove your shoes to enter the premises and go decently dressed. The statue is a model of concentration that helped the Indian leader Nehru withstand years in prison during British colonization.
