Pethikada

Hello Everyone Pethikada Paintings and craft gallery gives unique collection of crafts and mostly paintings. What’s very unique about our art is that most of them are traditional paintings. Mostly from Dambulla Cave temple and other heritage sights. And adding to that we have a wonderful collection of frescoes too. Most of paintings are done on well treated wood and we try to keep authentic nature of the paintings as much as we can. Adding further you don’t have to buy anything from us we appreciate even your visit to our place. Because as a traveler if you are interested about art and authentic traditional art of Sri Lanka we highly recommend you to visit our place so we can give you a quality idea of our country’s painting history with examples. Finally our stall is not gigantic as other galleries and craft shops around the island but we can assure you fulfilling experience if you are an art lover.

Jagath is a very talented artist who was very friendly and explained all the work he was doing. He showed us his work in stages, discussed the conferences he had attended and explained how he can create custom pieces of work and safely have them shipped abroad for us. His art work was amazing and although we did not purchase anything that day he spent a lot of time with us. Highly recommend visiting and buying something unique from here.

kaludiya Pokuna

Reviewed By 504amanb

One of my favourite sites in Sigiriya. Took a tuk tuk from our homestay a 15/20 min journey the final part over a bumpy road leading to a broken bridge where we parted ways from our driver. Its a few minute walk to a hut where we came across 2 locals. We were asked if we would like to be joined and shown around. We opted against this expecting a casual stroll. We got to the forgotten temple and took in the serenity amongst the ruins. One of the locals found us and started showing us around explaining the history and then our stroll became more adventurous. Although there are paths he took us off the paths showing us caves and rock structures where Buddhist monks stayed. The stroll became a bit more challenging but was definitely worth it. The serenity and peace was stunning the views amazing and we got to a point where our guide told us going any higher would become dangerous, so we came back down the black lake. I enjoyed every second of this and highly recommend it.
