A cool mix of modern architecture and cultural essence at the Gangaramaya Temple in Colombo, where I didn't expect the amazing findings. In the temple, sits the Bo Tree, together with the stupa and the Viharaya, forms the important triad within the Buddhist temple. It is the Pipal or Sacred Fig Tree (Ficus Religiosa), under which the Buddha attained enlightenment. Beside the Borobudur Replica, is a perfect, impressive and aesthetically pleasing imitation of this example of ancient Southeast Asian architecture. Sitting serenely on stacked platforms. Discovering the Relic Chamber that housed sacred relics of the Buddha, his disciples including the Arhant Seevalie and the Hair Relic of the Supreme Buddha. Saying goodbye to the elephant, Ganga, that was held at the temple in poor conditions but has now been freed.
