Wewurukannala Buduraja Maha Viharaya

This sacred Buddhist temple is located 1.5 km from Dikwella towards Beliatta. The main attraction of the temple is the 160-ft tall statue of seated Buddha. It is the largest statue in the whole of Sri Lanka and dates back to the late 18th Century. The temple has another section named the Tunnel of Hell. It features life-sized models of devils, demons, and sinners going through the torments and horrors of hell. The temple walls show you the path towards enlightenment by depicting hundreds of comic strip representations of events in the Buddha’s life.
Weherahena Buddhist Temple

The Weherahena Poorwarama Temple is situated in the Matara District of Sri Lanka, about 6 kilometres off the Matara town. This rather unique temple is known as the first tunnel temple in the world.
