1. Siri Gautama Sambuddharaja Maligawa
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 25 reviews
Siri Gautama Sambuddharaja Maligawa (Grand Temple of The Gautama Buddha) is one of the most beautiful Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka. This magnificent temple was completed in 2012 to honor Gautama Buddha celebrating the 2600th anniversary of his enlightenment. The temple was built through the great meritorious intentions and guidance of the most venerable Kiribathgoda Gnanananda Thero. The statues, paintings, carvings and all other art works in the temple were made exclusively by highly skilled Sri Lankan artists. As well, thousands of devotees connected to Mahamevnawa monasteries in the country and abroad gave their full financial and volunteer support. By placing the first stone the construction work of the grand temple was started on 6th February 2011 and the construction work was finished completely just in one year and five months. On 2nd July 2012 the temple was offered to Gautama Buddha and opened to the Public in a grand opening ceremony.

Having visited temples in countries like Thailand, Singapore, Austraila, I think these are unarguably the best modern day Buddha Statues. They have been crafted, highlighting the unique physical features of the Lord Buddha, hence being inside this temple building was truly a beautiful experience. Also, you if you get the time right, you may see hundreds of Buddhist monks going on alms round to the lunch area, at about 10.30 am. It is truly a marvelous sight to see so many Buddhist monks walking mindfully. If you are interested in learning a bit of Buddhist wisdom, You may also get a chance to talk directly with a practicing Buddhist monk. Overall it is a very spiritually enriching experience and one that I keep coming back to every time I visit Sri Lanka.

Reviewed By DDPrasad - Wattala, Sri Lanka
Lord Rama after his victorious battle left for Ayodhya in one of King Ravana's vimana's. He felt he was being followed by “Brahmahasthi Dosham” as he had killed King Ravana who was a Brahmin. He stopped the vimana at this juncture because he felt at this place the 11`Brahma hasthi Dosham" was not following him. He ascended from the vimana and asked God Shiva for a remedy. God Shiva blessed Lord Rama and advised him to install four lingams at Manavari, Thiru Koneshwaram, Thiru Ketheshwaram and Rameshwaram in India and pray, as the only remedy to get rid of the “Brahmahasthi Dosham”.
