A first look
Muhudu Maha Viharaya in Arugam Bay is a stop guests add when they build a trip around a named house. SoloRoost lists it because it is on the map, not because we run a ticket booth here.
Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka
History and meaning
This temple, near a wide beach, is believed to have been built over 2000 years ago by King Kavan Tissa of Ruhuna. The ruins and remains of ancient stupas, Seema Malaka, Avasa Geya and statues can be seen at the site.
Being there
Muhudu Maha Vihara is a Buddhist temple at Pottuvil in Ampara District, Eastern province of Sri Lanka. Important ruins at the temple premises include stone statues of Buddha and two statues of old kings or gods. Listed stays nearby appear on the Arugam Bay hub when hosts publish. If a house is not on SoloRoost, we do not invent it.
