Sri Lankaramaya Buddhist Temple

Sri Lankaramaya Buddhist Temple

Sri Lankaramaya Temple at St Michael's Road is a peaceful sanctuary situated in the middle of major roads. Built in 1952, this is the oldest Sri Lankan Theravada Buddhist Temple in Singapore.







With a Stupa, a Bodhi Tree, Buddha images, and a Sima Hall, the temple is considered as a complete monastery under the Theravada tradition. Other key features of the temple include a 45-ft reclining Buddha statue and a life-like effigy of the King Devanampiyatissa showing his reverence to Arhat Mahinda depicting how Buddhism arrived in Sri Lanka.




Too bad the door was lock and i can't take the picture of 45-ft reclining Buddha statue
