The Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya, which is the one of the oldest temples in the country dating back 2,500 years! 😳 Lord Buddha is said to have visited here during one of his three trips to Sri Lanka. The temple was filled with hundreds of worshippers with most dressed in white to represent purity.

A place visited by Buddha where this temple was built.
A large temple complex, with a large green area, which also invites you to linger.
