Gangaramaya temple is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. I highly recommend you to visit this place if you find yourself in Sri Lanka. You will witness thousands of temples while you are traveling around Sri Lanka. All those temples are influenced by Theravada. But, Gangaramaya temple is influenced by a mixture of Theravada and Mahayana and it's really a nice place.
Vesak - the festival celebrating Lord Buddha's birth. The streets are full of beautifully lit pandals featuring lanterns like these. The whole city is lit up - it's like fairyland !
