Lonely Planet review for Gangaramaya Temple

A short walk east of theSouth Beira lake is the sprawling Gangaramaya Temple. Run by one of Sri Lanka’s more politically adept monks, the temple complex has a library, a museum (donation Rs 100) and an extraordinarily eclectic array of bejewelled and gilded gifts presented by devotees and well-wishers over the years. Gangaramaya is the focus of the Navam Perahera on the February poya(full moon) day each year.
