New Kathiresan Kovil

Although we didn’t get inside, from the outside it was an amazing Indian temple in central Colombo, and the carving was fantastic. It seemed like an ordinary residential area, but then we saw the temple. Awesome!! A corner of an incredible building. Be sure to take time to visit. We came here by tutu car from Cinnamom Lakeside Hotel, which is only 5 minutes away from the hotel and is well worth a visit.

The old and new temple in Colombo is located within the famous Beta Market, a typical Hindu temple, at the entrance is a tall tower carved with various Hindu gods, and colorful, very spectacular.

Colombo New and Old Indian Temple is an Indian temple in the Beta Market. He has an iconic tall gate tower full of Hindu gods and the color is very gorgeous. You need slippers to enter the temple and keep quiet, so you can go in and visit.

Sri Lanka is a Buddhist country, and Hinduism is a major sect. Through the narrow streets, we came to this Indian temple, the new temple and the old temple are adjacent, entering the temple is to take off the shoes to enter, we do not understand, secondly by the weather hot broke, but the roadside coconut stalls more attracted us, come to a coconut juice to drink more comfortable.

Sri Lankan residents 70.2% believe in Buddhism, 12.6% believe in Hinduism, 9.7% believe in Islam, temples, pagodas, mosques can be seen everywhere in this country. Indian temples are basically this shape: like a seven-level pagoda. The tower is stacked with statues of gods, colorful. You have to take off your shoes when you enter the temple, and someone at the door will apply a yellow pigment on your face, and he will force you to ask for a tip when you come out. The monks in the temple are all naked, looking fierce and vicious, like bandit gangsters, looking at people who are afraid, because they don't understand the taboo of Hinduism, so they dare not take pictures inside.

Sri Lanka is a religious country with many denominations. The most luxurious buildings on the street are all major temples. But because of the lack of knowledge, it is impossible to recognize each other, just look at a fur. But whatever one, one thing is the same, that is, people's devout hearts. The temples of India are colorful, gorgeous and eye-catching. Look at the small sculptures and tell stories.
