He shows us in this educational, the Dagoba Ruanweli, the largest brick building in the world, which is surrounded by white marble colonnades. There are thousands of niches in the pillars and in each one is a statue of Buddha, or of an ancient king. The platform upon which this tomb rests, is supported by four hundred sculptured elephants, which are now hardly recognizable. The work is being restored, under the direction of the chief priest, whose house is shown. This process has been under his direction for years. In 2500 years there have been few changes in the local methods of building and working. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
