A few 16km away from Galnewa via Meegalewa in Mahaweli System H. Sasseruwa means what is similar, as the Resvehera statue bears similar profiles to the Aukana Buddha statue. But there is a world of difference between the sculpturing structure of these two Buddha statues. While the Aukana Buddha statue is 46 feet high, the Sasseruwa/Resvehera one is 36 feet high. This Resvehera statue is carved into a rectangular frame in the rock boulder itself. The siraspatha is absent there, while it is portrayed in dots for the hair. The Aukana Buddha statue stands on a stone pedestal in the form of an exquisite lotus symbol. While that of the Resvehera statue stands on a plain rectangular stone pedestal.
Temple built by king Dewanampiyathissa, King Valagambahu and Mahasen. There are 99 caves in the beautiful jungle where 360 Buddhist monk where meditated. There is a Buddhist statue made by stone-like Aukana and its Sivura (robe) made by natural thread 2000 years before. There also two Vihara Geya like Dambulla Viharaya. There is a Buddha statue which is similar to the ‘Aukana Buddha statue’, which has a height of about 13 meters. And there is a reclining statue of Lord Buddha inside the shrine room of the temple which has about 36 feet long. Resvehera has its derivation that the patriarch Bo tree standing there had originated from a sapling that was brought from the Sri Maha Bodhiya in Anuradhapura. As when the Bo sapling was planted there, the rays (halo) of Lord Buddha illuminated around the place.
