REPRESENTATION OF QUEEN VICTORIA OVER THE ENTRANCE TO 
THE VIṢṆU DĒVĀLĒ SHRINE AT VÄLIHIN̆DA SUDARŚANĀRĀMAYA 
BUDDHIST TEMPLE
This painting of Queen Victoria is located over the entrance to the Viṣṇu Dēvālē 
shrine at Välihin̆da Sudarśanārāmaya Buddhist temple in the city of Matara, Sri 
Lanka (wide shot, above). It is situated inside a curvilinear medallion accompanied 
by two standing lions and topped by a relatively large crown—all representative of 
the British royal crest (see close-up, below). Large-scale images of the protective dei-
ties Vatuka and Agore—manifestations of Śiva—are found below the representation 
of the queen, on each side of the doorway. The setting thus characterizes Queen 
Victoria as a powerful being. Second or third quarter of the nineteenth century, 
tempera.
