    This important temple complex is located on the edge of Bentota next to a small pond.

    The main building of the temple contains several statues and murals of Buddha and his career. There is also a 25-foot-tall reclining Buddha statue.

    It is said that an ancient dagoba in the temple contains the tooth relic of one of Buddha's most important disciples.
