This is an important place of worship amongst the buddhists around Sri Lanka. If visiting Matara should make a quick stop to admire the ancient arts and the maze like underground tunnels leading to the main Buddha statue which is one of the tallest sitting Buddha statues in the country.

The Buddha statue is massive in size and you can walk inside of it. You can witness many beautiful drawings of Gautama Buddha and his stories. So when visiting please take your time to read them leisurely. Can easily proceed from Matara town.
