Kalutara Bodhiya
The Kalutara Bodhiya is arguably the most recognizable Buddhist shrine in southern Sri Lanka, prominently located by the Kalu Ganga river. Its massive, pristine white stupa is uniquely hollow—one of the few in the world that visitors can actually step inside. The interior is adorned with stunning, vibrant frescoes depicting scenes from the Jataka tales (past lives of the Buddha).
