Sasseruwa submitted by KaiHofmann : The Incomplete Torso of the Sasseruwa Buddha Site in Sri Lanka flickr image by Radhika may 17, 2011 Legend has it that due to a crack that appeared on this torso, the statue was abandoned and thus left incomplete. Try as we might, we couldn't locate this crack. Image copyright: Radsmatazz (Radhika), hosted on Flickr and displayed under the terms of their API. (Vote or comment on this photo)
