Stone reliefs--Potgul vihare, Hanguranketa--Sri Lanka

Description

Laksmi without the elephants occupies the central position of this very elaborate stone doorway, at the eastern entrance to the Potgul Vihare at Hanguranketa, Sri Lanka. The style and workmanship suggests that it was probably done by a South Indian artist at the court of the Nayakkar Kings of Kandy.
