O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Smješten u centru grada Ratnapure, ovaj hram svake godine posete milioni vernika. Ovdje se obožava božanstvo Saman, koga lokalno stanovništvo smatra zaštitnikom brda Saptakona i vladarom svih dragulja.
Istaknuto: Najjedinstveniji prizor ovde je tokom Perahere, kada 32 ukrašena slona izađu u povorci i svetlost petrolejskih lampi pozlati celo dvorište. Drevni natpisi koji se ovde nalaze govore da je ovaj hram izgrađen u 13. veku, ali su njegove drvene rezbarije i slike i danas jednako živopisne.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
