Muhudu Maha Vihara

Reviewed By chathuandishanka - Kalutara, Sri Lanka

This is an ancient Buddhist temple and has a historical and archeological importance. Temple spread across a large area and is located just by the sea as the name implies. This was on spotlight recently due to some ethnic conflicts occurred in the area. Now an army camp is built here and army personnel guard the temple 24x7. We visited during the pandemic and unfortunately the temple was closed for outsiders.
