O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Smješten u samom središtu grada Ratnapure, ovaj hram svake godine posjete milijuni vjernika. Ovdje se štuje božanstvo Saman, kojeg lokalno stanovništvo smatra zaštitnikom sedmerostrukog vrha i gospodarom svih dragulja.
Istaknuto: Najjedinstveniji prizor ovdje je za vrijeme Perahere, kada 32 slona u svečanoj opremi izađu, a svjetlost petrolejskih svjetiljki cijelo dvorište obasja zlatnom bojom. Drevni natpisi ovdje govore da je hram izgrađen u 13. stoljeću, a njegove drvene rezbarije i slike i danas su jednako živopisni.
Insajderski savjeti
- Shoes and sandals must be removed before entering the temple, so wearing socks is a good idea.
- Do not miss the ancient wooden carving on the right wall; it is a unique example of 14th century craftsmanship.
- You can ask a local guide for detailed information about the worship rituals; they share information without any charge.
- Avoid visiting between 12 PM and 2 PM, as it is very crowded and the sun is very harsh during this time.
