Sri Lanka: Embekke

Like Gadaladeniya and Lankatilaka, the Embekke temple or devale dates from the 14th century and shares a location along the axis of the very symmetrical Gadaladeniya Synform, a geologic basin.  But while Gadaladeniya is of stone and Lankatilaka of brick, Embekke is of an ironwood, specifically of the na tree, Mesua nagassarium, the national tree of Sri Lanka.
