The final place in your schedule will be the Embekke Temple. This place is a wonderful treat to the eyes, as it is covered in carvings. All its wooden sections (which are quite a lot considering that the temple is almost completely made of wood) are decorated with detailed and delicate woodwork, that makes Embekke the most famous example for ancient Sri Lanka’s woodcrafting skills. Among the best masterpieces on the capital, pillars are the Hansa Puttuwa (entwined swans), the double-headed eagles, entwined rope designs, a mother breastfeeding her child design, a soldier fighting on horseback, female dancing figures, wrestlers, women emanating from a vein, a bird-man figure, elephant-bull and the elephant-lion figure. In total there are over 500 unique designs among these carvings. You will also be shown the unique architecture used in the wooden rafters. After feasting on the beauty of Embekke, you will be returning to the University of Peradeniya, .
