Srawasthi Mandiraya, Administrative building in Cinnamon Gardens, Sri Lanka.
Srawasthi Mandiraya stands as a grand office complex of the Western Provincial Council, constructed in the style of a Tuscan villa with detailed architectural elements.
Built in 1913 by veterinary surgeon W. A. de Silva, the mansion initially served as a hostel for Members of Parliament attending sessions from outside Colombo.
During its early years, the mansion became a meeting point for influential figures, including visits from Jawaharlal Nehru and Rabindranath Tagore.
The building is situated along Sir Marcus Fernando Mawatha, formerly Edinburgh Crescent, and remains accessible through various public transportation options in Colombo.
After independence, Dr. de Silva donated this mansion to the nation, leading to its transformation from a parliamentary accommodation to a provincial council office complex.
