(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Gangaramaya (Vihara) Buddhist Temple
Gangaramaya Vihara was founded in the late 19th century by Venerable Hikkaduwe Sri Sumangala Nayaka Thera, a highly respected Buddhist monk. The temple started as a small hermitage on the banks of the Beira Lake but gradually expanded over the years to become the sprawling complex it is today. Gangaramaya Vihara is not only a place of worship but also a cultural center and learning institution. The temple complex is a harmonious blend of traditional Sri Lankan architecture and modern influences.
Temple Of Sri Kailawasanathan Swami Devasthanam Kovil
The Temple of Sri Kailawasanathan Swami Devasthanam Kovil, commonly referred to as the Kovil, is a significant Hindu temple located in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Its history dates back to the early 20th century when it was established by the Sri Lankan Tamil community, particularly those of South Indian origin who migrated to Sri Lanka. The Kovil is dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. It serves as a place of worship and cultural significance for devotees who gather to offer prayers, perform rituals, and seek blessings.
Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque
The Red Mosque was built in the late 19th century, completed in 1909, during the British colonial period. It was commissioned by the local Muslim community, particularly the South Indian Muslim traders who settled in the area for business purposes. The mosque is renowned for its striking red and white striped brickwork, which gives it its distinctive appearance and earned it the nickname "Red Mosque." Its architectural style is a blend of Indo-Islamic and Moorish influences, reflecting the cultural diversity and heritage of the region.
