Kande Viharaya Temple

Kande Viharaya Temple– Aluthgama, Kalutara ~

Established in the year 1734, Kande Viharaya is one of the most popular Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka. Being located up in the hills, the serenity that surrounds the temple celebrates one of the most peace-loving philosophies of the world. The relic chamber of the temple is believed to be the oldest structure in the temple. Its walls are adorned with Kandyan Era frescoes while murals illustrating Lord Buddha’s life are depicted across the temple. Subsequent to a few rounds of renovation under state patronage, Kande Viharaya is today formally recognised as an archaeological site. Every step into this temple in its most scenic atmosphere feels like the unravelling of a beautiful story.
