Apsara Frescoes at Sigiriya Rock Fortress, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sri Lanka

The true identity of the ladies in these paintings still have not been confirmed. There are various ideas about their identity. Some believe that they are the ladies of the king's while others think that they are women taking part in religious observances. These pictures have a close resemblance to paintings seen in the Ajanta caves in India.
