Every step was a reminder of how beautiful Sri Lanka truly is.

The temple was built in the 15th century and is adorned with intricate carvings and paintings. It's definitely worth a visit, even if you're not a religious person. (300 meters from the hostel.)

In Theravada Buddhism, offering lotus flowers is a symbolic gesture of purity, enlightenment, and the potential for spiritual growth. The lotus, emerging pristine from muddy waters, represents the journey towards enlightenment. Making such offerings is a traditional practice to cultivate mindfulness and express reverence on the path of awakening.

Lighting an oil lamp symbolizes the dispelling of ignorance and the illumination of wisdom. It's a ritual often performed in temples and during personal meditation practices. The light is a metaphor for the enlightenment that comes from understanding the nature of existence and the teachings of the Buddha.
