Situlpawwa Temple

Yes, we know it gets a bit tiring to visit all the religious places (especially anywhere in South East Asia) but this is one of those sprawling displays of opulence-meets-culture-meets-faith-meets-positivity. It has been identified as one of the greatest 2nd century sites of Buddhist scholarship and its name comes from an ancient word which means 'The hill of the quiet mind.' 

The history, mythology and stories behind it are as fascinating as they are fantastic and we sincerely doubt you'll be disappointed by the tall tales either. It's also located in front of the Maha Sithulpawwa rock that is 400 feet in height . The cave temple is 67 feet high and 30 feet long, plus it's part of an intricate cave-complex at Sithulpawwa for any architecture enthusiasts out there. Most of these caves hold inscriptions in the long lost Brahmi script for any archaeology enthusiasts!
