Ancient glory is back…

With the immense effort of Ven. Tissa thero the temple is arising to its ancient glorious days.  Ven. Thero make sure to develop everything so carefully, neatly and peacefully without harming to its archaeological values.

The Bodhi tree and the vihara kuti where the Buddha statue is rest, are already functioning with the needful offerings.  The construction of Stupa also started exactly the place where it used to be in the ancient time.

Poya day programs, meditation programs and many other Buddhist activities revolved around the temple premises under the guidance of Ven. Jinawansha Tissa Thero.
