Negombo's Pride: Walking Through the Sacred Angurukaramulla Temple

In the middle of Negombo city in Sri Lanka, the Angurukaramulla Temple is famous for a dragon-like entrance and a tall statue of Lord Buddha. Visitors go through the dragon's mouth to get inside. It's believed that the dragon protects the temple and its followers from evil spirits. The dragon is under a big statue of Lord Buddha, overlooking a calm water pool. The temple has an old library, beautiful paintings, sculptures, and murals from many years ago. Ceiling paintings show Lord Buddha's journey to enlightenment and stories of past rulers from the Mahavamsa. #temple #buddisttemple #buddhiststory #buddhisthistory #negambo #srilanka #beautyofsrilanka #ancienthistory #ancientplaces #ancient #dragonentrance #negambopride #buddhistheritage #culture #culturalheritage #culturalexploration #srilankatravel #spiritualretreat #angurukaramullatemple #templearchitecture #relaxnwander
