අප මහ බුදුරජාණන්වහන්සේගේ ජීවමාන අනුරුවක් ලෙස සාදා ඇති අවුකන පිළිම වහන්සේ පිළිබද විස්තරයක්.. 

The Avukana statue is located in the village of Avukana (also spelled Aukana) near Kekirawa. It figure is set in a slight hollow and faces east, looking toward the Kala Wewa reservoir. It was carved out of a large granite rock face, but is not completely separated. A narrow strip of rock has been left at the back of the statue, connecting it to the rock to support it. The rock face behind the image is carved like Cyclopean masonry, to give the appearance of a mountain. The pedestal on which the Buddha stands takes the form of a lotus flower. The statue alone is 11.84 metres (38 ft 10 in) in height, and with the pedestal, the total height of the Avukana statue reaches over 14 metres (46 ft).
