Kotte's Spirit
"Here stood the heart of a Kingdom, beating in rhythm with the Dhamma."
Established by King Parakramabahu VI, Kotte Sri Rajamaha Viharaya is more than a temple—it is a living testament to Sri Lanka's golden era. It was here that Prince Sapumal Bandara sought blessings before his historic conquest, planting the sacred Na tree that still stands as a silent witness to centuries of devotion.
