Historical sources attest to the fact that Sri Lanka was mainly inhabited by the Sinhala Buddhists and the Hindus under the political and economic conditions inherent in the country have changed due to the British occupation of the country. It had a profound effect on the cultural and religious conditions, especially the customs and traditions that promoted the local identity. It can be seen that the local people have been in a lot of trouble as upper-class people of this country who had worked with foreigners. The temple murals can be identified as an opportunity for the oppressed people of this country, led by the monks, to stand up against it, and through the visual media to show the oppression of the people and the catastrophic situation in the governing body. This research explores the challenges posed to the local culture through the art of temple murals. It will be very important to be able to control the present adverse conditions by finding solutions through history to the problems that are especially affecting the Buddhist Culture.
