Sanghamitra brings the holy Bodhi Tree to Sri Lanka, Mural, Kelaniya Vihara, early 20th century. The painter Soliyas Mendis travelled to India in the end of the 19th century to study the paintings of Ajanta. When he returned to Sri Lanka, he created a new style of art, which has its roots in the gentle expressions and exquisite grace of the Ajanta paintings. His work represents a valuable link and continuation of the ancient style of Buddhist paintings. The paintings also display a close affinity to the style of the Sigiriya paintings and are distinctly Sri Lankan.
SANGHMITRA BUDDHA VIHAR
Sonoli (jamgaon )Tehsil Multai, Betul, Madhya Pradesh, India
Welcome
to Sonoli a Village surrounded by the serene beauty of nature, there
is a lush green forest. Nature has abundantly graced this area with
its beauty and calm.
It is also a
historical region as the great river Tapi has began its journey from
Multai.
The beautiful
village Sonoli is situated at the distance of just 4 km from the
town Multai . The Multai town is on highway No. NH 47 which can be
reached from Nagpur (125 km)-Bhopal (224 km) and by train it is a big
station where some Express trains as well as all other trains
running on Chennai - Delhi Grand trunk route has a station.The
nearest airport for this place is Nagpur.
During the
last 40 years only a simple statue of lord buddha was there in
this village. So Sanghmitra Buddha Vihar Samiti decided to have a
grand statue as well as a vihar for prayer and other social
activities for the community. But the main hurdle in this plan was
money, as resources of the community members were very limited and
no one was in a position to spend the huge amount require for this
great social venture. At last Dr Madhukar Hurmade the secretary of
the samiti took initiative and approached number of people who were
ready to help in this great cause. After completion of the
construction of vihar, one of them suggested that the samiti can get
a statue of Lord Buddha from Thailand. Then, the work of getting the
statue started in that direction and the samiti ultimately succeeded
in getting the statue doneted from one great devotee of Lord Buddha,
The Thai student association president Bhante Dr Anek . The statue
is made up of multimetal (Ashtadhatu ) it is 5.5 feet high seating
in a Vitarka Mudra (Ashirvad Mudra ). At a grand function of The
Installation Ceremony of the statue was held on April 23 rd 2017 ,
in which 2000 people were present and the religious rituals were
performed at the hands of Dr Bhadant Anand Thero- Nagpur, Bhante
Bodhimitra -Mizoram, Bhante Milind -Nagpur, Bhante Amitanand
-Nagpur.And in this way the Sanghmitra Buddha Vihar Samiti has
succeeded in this great social and religious task, which will
definitely inspire the coming generation to come forward to
contribute and sacrifice for the cause of religion and community.
