Dhowa rock Temple is one of the heritage sites in Sri Lanka, situated in central mountain of Uva province.  It is believed the temple bears a history dating back to about 2000 years, which means its history extends ‘Before Christ’.

View of one of the two large reclining Buddha's under the graphic painted ceiling. The cave  is famous for the beautiful paintings and sculptures that adorn its rock walls.
