Angurukaramulla Temple

A place of worship for Buddhists and Hindus alike, this temple is famous for its Buddha Statue that is over 6m in height and the iconic dragon’s head which acts as an entryway to its shrine room

The temple is home to the ruins of a historic, moss-covered library, and beautiful paintings, sculptures and murals that date back centuries. The paintings on the ceiling display Lord Buddha’s journey to enlightenment, as well as the legends of the country’s former rulers from the Mahavamsa.
