科伦坡最不拘一格的佛教寺庙，贝拉湖畔一座珍藏着文物、雕像和奇珍异宝的奇特宝库。

概述

Gangaramaya 是科伦坡最重要的寺庙之一，融合了斯里兰卡、泰国、印度和中国的建筑风格。其大厅里摆满了佛像、古董车、珠宝和信徒捐赠的礼物，酒店内的博物馆藏有一系列令人惊叹的文物。寺庙宁静的湖畔凉亭 Seema Malaka 漂浮在附近的贝拉湖上，是同一建筑群的一部分。

历史

Founded in the late 19th century, Gangaramaya grew under the influential monk and scholar Hikkaduwe Sri Sumangala and later Devundara Sri Jinaratana Nayaka Thera into a major centre of Buddhist learning and social service. The associated Seema Malaka meditation hall was redesigned by celebrated architect Geoffrey Bawa in the 1970s.
