Agrabodhi Raja Maha Viharaya

Weligama

Agrabodhi is a Buddhist temple in Weligama with a longstanding Bodhi-tree tradition. Its religious grounds offer a cultural pause within the coastal town, with worship taking priority over sightseeing. Keep this named temple separate from the nearby Kushtarajagala carving and Rajakulawadana Viharaya when choosing the places to visit.
