Ramayana, on the exterior of the chapel.
The interiors are decorated by paintings
depictingBuddhist legends, created by the royal artists of King

Meanwhile, in front of the chapel is a concrete
building with an ancient Greek and Roman-style dome. Also within
the compound is an ancient scripture library, anda beautiful
pavilion (Sala) at the pier, which provides plenty of shade.
