The temple is a religious centre of the Buddhists. It is situated in a beautiful and serene environment. Buddhist monks with shaven heads and wearing saffron robes live in it.

In addition to the temple buildings in which the monks live, there are also a dagaba, a shrine-room and a Bo-tree in the temple premises. The temple compound sprinkled with yellow sea-sand and well swept, looks clean and neat.

The Bo-tree stands erect grandly as a guardian-god. It’s huge foliage offers a welcome shade to a major part of the temple compound. It’s young leaves of pale golden colour emit a rustling sound swaying in the breeze.
The pinnacle on the top of the dagaba glitters amidst the rays of the sun.
