This temple dates back to the 14th century and was built on top of a rock called Panhalgala. It is the work of a South Indian architect, Satapathi Rayar. He blended Dravidian, Sinhalese and Indo-Chinese styles, giving his work a unique style. It is considered to be one of the best preserved examples of traditional Sinhalese architecture. The temple houses a representation of a seated Buddha in a meditative posture. The top of the temple offers a superb view of the surrounding hills and rice fields.

Un autre de mes coups de coeur autour de Kandy! Mieux vaut y aller en voiture, tuktuk ou louer un scooter pour profiter de la campagne environnante.
Juché sur sa colline de pierre, le temple n'a rien d'extraordinaire à l'extérieur, mais l'intérieur dégage une ambiance mystique qui m'a envoûtée. Les murs sont recouverts de peintures, et la salle n'est pas si grande que ça, donnant au lieu une impression d'intimité. Renforcée par le fait que deux jeunes filles venaient prier à ce moment là et répéter les prières que le moine leur chantait. Un beau moment spirituel.

A voir après avoir visité le temple de Gadaladeniya.
Le chemin à pied d'un temple à l'autre est assez difficile et pas très joli. Autant y aller en voiture.
Superbe Boudha assis, entouré du même animal mythique
