The Gal Vihara (Sinhala: ගල් විහාර), and originally as the Uttararama (Sinhala: උත්තරාම), is a rock temple of the Buddha situated in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa in North Central Province, Sri Lanka. It was fashioned in the 12th century by Parakramabahu I. The central feature of the temple is four rock relief statues of the Buddha, which have been carved into the face of a large granitic (granite gneiss) rock. The images consist of a large seated figure, another smaller seated figure inside an artificial cavern, a standing figure and a reclining figure. These are considered to be some of the best examples of ancient Sinhalese sculpting and carving arts, and have made the Gal Vihara the most visited monument at Polonnaruwa.

  • 갈비하라 사원(ගල් විහාරය)은 스리랑카 중북부 주에 위치한 불교 사원이다. 파라크라마바후 1세 때 세워진 갈비하라 불교사원에는 열반상·입상·좌상 등 3기의 불상이 한 자리에 모여 있다. 길이가 14m나 되는 열반상은 오른팔로 머리를 괴고 왼팔은 몸을 따라 쭉 뻗은 형상이며, 열반상 특유의 좌우 크기가 다른 발 모습도 볼 수 있다. 입상의 높이는 7m, 좌불상은 5m에 달한다. 팔짱을 끼고 있는 입상은 석가의 수제자인 아난 존자라고 한다. 하지만 연꽃대좌에 서 있는 것으로 미루어 보아 석가의 제자가 아니라 깨달음을 얻은 석가라는 설도 있다. 좌불상은 진리를 터득한 석존을 나타낸 것이다.
