Lankatilaka Temple is a unique Buddhist temple on the outskirts of Kandy. Built of stone, brick, and lime plaster, this temple offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and the paddy fields. Built by King Buwanekabahu IV, the architecture of the temple is a blend of the Sinhalese and Indo-Chinese architecture.

Built on a large and uneven outcropping, Lankatilaka temple is among the one of the three famous ancient temples near the Perahangala Rock. One can reach the Lankatilaka Viharaya along Kandy-Colombo main road. Originally built in four stories, the temple has now a section of the first floor covered with a titled wooden roof. The stone steps lead to the “dragon arch” main entrance. As you reach the premises of the temple, you will see the main temple building, the Dagoba or the Chetiya and the Bo tree. A Buddha Siripatula or the large stone image of the Lord Buddha’s footprint can be seen near the Bodhigharaya. A blend of the Sinhalese and Indo-Chinese architecture, this temple is worth exploring. Don’t forget to explore the stupa and rock inscription. Marvel at the seated Buddha Statue as you visit Buddha Image House.
