Sri Lanka Sculpture: Bodhisattva is the second volume in the Sri Lanka Sculpture series published by the Central Cultural Fund, following the highly acclaimed Sri Lanka Paintings project. Authored by Dr. Nandana Chutiwongs, Prof. Leelananda Prematilleke, and the late Dr. Roland Silva, this 2011 first edition offers a comprehensive study of Sri Lanka’s Mahayana Buddhist sculptures, focusing on the serene and majestic figures of Bodhisattvas found across the island.
 
The volume presents an exceptional collection of photographs and detailed analyses that illuminate the artistic mastery and spiritual symbolism embodied in these ancient works. Through meticulous documentation and scholarly interpretation, the authors trace the stylistic evolution, regional diversity, and devotional significance of Bodhisattva sculptures—both colossal and miniature—that once adorned monasteries and shrines throughout Sri Lanka. Now out of print, this publication remains a cornerstone reference for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of South Asian art, reflecting the island’s deep interweaving of faith, aesthetics, and craftsmanship.
