O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: To svetišče, ki stoji v središču mesta Ratnapura, vsako leto obišče milijone vernikov. Tu častijo božanstvo Saman, ki ga lokalni ljudje častijo kot zaščitnika Saptakona in gospodarja vseh draguljev.
Poudarki: Najbolj edinstven prizor je med Perahero, ko se 32 okrašenih slonov sprehodi v povorki in svetloba petrolejk obsije celotno dvorišče v zlato. Starodavni napisi tukaj pričajo, da je bil tempelj zgrajen v 13. stoletju, a so njegove lesene rezbarije in slike še danes prav tako žive.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
