A wooden temple built in the 14th century by King Wickramabahu III which is characterized by its magnificent carvings (nearly 130) and its raised roof. The pillars of the drummers' hall are perfectly preserved and would have been made by the same craftsman. Among the motifs and subjects represented are animals, dancers, mermaids, soldiers, flowers... The roof of the temple is unique in Sri Lanka: its rafters are fixed and assembled by a madol kurupawa, a system not found anywhere else in the country.

Adorable petit temple, niché au creux des collines avoisinant Kandy. Ayant loué un scooter, il m'était facile de m'y rendre et de faire les trois temples en dehors de la ville.
Il se visite rapidement, mais les gravures sur bois valent vraiment le détour! Et cela fait du bien de sortir un peu à l'extérieur de Kandy, surtout en pleine Perahera ...

Un beau temple
Ce temple est à visiter avec le Gadaladeniya et le Lankatilaka temples. On pourrait les comparer aux maisons des 3 petits cochons...

Balade d une journée en Tuk tuk autour de Kandy.Différents temples dont celui ci très fréquenté par les locaux pour ses idoles hindouistes et ses fines sculptures en bois.Droits d entrées un peu cher (il y 3 temples dans ce trip) mais on s évadé de la pollution pour des des scènes de vie au milieu des rizières et villages.

Joli temple près de Kandy où l'on peut se rendre directement en voiture sinon lors d'une balade à pied de 8 kms à travers la campagne et les villages en partant de celui Gadaladeniya puis lankatilaka et enfin Embekke. Temple très ancien avec des bois sculptés d'origine, endroit reposant loin de la foule de Kandy.
