Sacred Temples & Shrines

This collection spans Sri Lanka’s diverse religious landscape, from the ancient UNESCO-listed cave temples of Dambulla to the colonial-era St. Mary's Cathedral in Jaffna. It includes the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy and the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, the world's oldest human-planted tree. The list features the massive stupas of Anuradhapura, the rock-carved Buddhas of Polonnaruwa’s Gal Vihara, and the vibrant Dravidian architecture of Hindu kovils in Colombo and Jaffna, representing centuries of spiritual heritage.
