Kadurugoda Vihara, Buddhist archaeological complex in Chunnakam, Sri Lanka.
The temple complex contains twenty coral stone stupas arranged in a circular pattern, ranging from 8 to 23.5 feet in diameter.
The temple establishment dates back to the period between 307 BC and 267 BC during King Devanampiya Tissa's reign when Buddhism arrived in Sri Lanka.
Local traditions tell of sixty Buddhist monks who met their end in this location after consuming poisonous mushrooms during their journey to India.
The archaeological site requires visitors to remove footwear at the entrance and maintain appropriate dress code by covering arms and legs.
The gray coral stone domes feature distinct patterns and cavities that appear exclusively at this temple location across Sri Lanka.
