Sri Lanka Buddhist Temple
Sri Lanka Buddhist Temple
MALAYSIA, Kuala Lumpur
The temple initially consisted of a wooden house constructed by Sri Lankan devotees in 1917. It was subsequently operated by the Siri Jayanti Welfare Organisation. The temple was reconstructed in 1930, and in 1995 the temple was rebuilt in the form of a typical Sri Lankan Buddhist temple by the abbot, Saranankara.
The main building of the temple is the main hall, which has a white Sri Lankan style stupa on its roof. The outer walls are covered with scenes from the Life of the Buddha. The hall houses an 8 m high seated Buddha with hands forming the dhyana (meditation) mudra.
