The Sri Vishnu statue is 2 meters high; it was done during the original work. There had also been two other statues of gods, however, they have been demolished and we are unable to ascertain as to which gods the statues depicted. The paintings of the ¡°Marayuddha¡± in the canopy are almost completely destroyed and the ¡°Suvisivivarana¡± to a certain extent is preserved. A large number of events in the ¡°Sathsathuva¡± which depict many important events in the Buddha life are among the paintings. Unfortunately these two have almost disappeared during the case of time. In 1989 the Archeological commissioner Mr. Roland Silva visited the Viharaya on the invitation of the present Viharadhipathi, with his advice, a chemical preservation process was under taken to preserve the paintings and statues.
