Angurukaramulla Temple

Pilgrimage.

Bhodhirajarama Maha Viharaya more known as the Angurukamulla temple in the heart of Negambo town is a palette of colors and a connotation of Buddhist architecture seasoned with colonial influence. 

Despite its vivid colors and strong and gaping design unusual for a Buddhist temple Angurukamulla Temple is a treasure trove to the visitors waiting to be unearthed. Hidden among its glaring decorations and modern sculptor are the intricate wooden and stone designs of ancient times. Window frames and moon stones created nearly three centuries back. A library building of grand beauty, which belonged to the British periods and was declared open by a former governor Sir Andrew Caldecott, in 1941 now stands overlooked and neglected.
