Bahirawakanda Sri Maha Bodhi Viharaya

Kandy

The large white seated Buddha at Bahirawakanda is a familiar feature of Kandy’s hillside skyline. A visit to Sri Maha Bodhi Viharaya brings the statue and its temple setting into closer view. Treat the grounds as a place of worship while appreciating the outlook over the city.

Embekke Devalaya

Kandy

Embekke Devalaya rewards a close look at traditional timber craftsmanship. Carved pillars and the roof structure of its halls give this shrine a different character from nearby stone-built temples. It is a useful stop for visitors interested in the relationship between religious practice and local decorative arts.

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.
