Gangarama temple

Gangarama Maha Vihara, Jananandarama Maha Viharaya, Jananandharamaya
Sri lanka, Hikkaduwa
In the vicinity of Hikkaduwa there is a large and rather "young" Buddhist temple Gangarama Maha Vihara. It impresses not only with its size, but also with the number of Buddha statues. It will be interesting to see the picturesque wall frescoes. It is noteworthy that all these murals were made by one person who worked on them for almost ten years. Excursions around the temple are conducted by the monks themselves. The temple has its own sacred tree. You can visit Gangarama Maha Vihara any day by making a voluntary donation of a few rupees.

The most beautiful with frescoes is the Gangarama Maha Vihara Temple, aka Jananadha ramaya. in Hikkaduwa. You can get to it from the bus station along the road deep into the village about 200 meters, carefully read the signs on the road and a little to the right across the bridge with the river. If you are relaxing in Hikkaduwa, be sure to take a walk around the surroundings, there are several completely different temples near the hotels.
