High-tech guards for Sigiriya damsels

Updated - 7/9/2010 - DailyNews.

 

The National Heritage and Cultural Affairs Ministry will soon introduce micro-climatic monitoring equipment, electro-optic holographic machinery and infra-red thermography techniques at Sigiriya rock fortress to ensure long-term preservation of its historic frescoes and mirror wall.

This is in keeping with the instructions of President Mahinda Rajapaksa , said National Heritage and Cultural Affairs Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi.

The Committee appointed by President Rajapaksa to identify ways to preserve the Sigiriya frescoes after his recent inspection visit to assess the current state of the frescoes, has recommended the need to import modern equipment and machinery to prevent the rock paintings from being damaged by air pollutants and biological agents.

The Ministry will not bring foreign experts to restore Sigiriya frescoes. Minister Wanniarachchi said, "we have all the expertise we need in the country to preserve the frescoes."
