Photographing the Sigiriya Frescoes has been prohibited from today, Central Cultural Fund Director General Dr. Prishantha Gunawardana said.

Gunawardena said the decision was taken to protect the paintings that were damaged after constant exposure to the camera flashlights.   

Earlier anyone interested in taking photographs had to pay a fee and do so.(DS)
