    Beautiful, colourful Hindu worshipping building. It costs a small amount to get in and a little bit more to the man who guards your shoes for you (sure, you can not pay him but it's not really an issue). Hindu temples never cease to impress me. They always have such colour and great design. Top that off with some really cool carvings of various gods of all forms and you can't go wrong.

    Savinda is an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide and driver that navigated the way for our 8-person bucks party/trip over 10 days. Even though the country was experiencing economic unrest and fuel/electricity shortages, he ensured the journey was well prepared and provisioned for, and under his guidance our trip continued without any interruption or disturbance. We even got to explore more of Sri Lanka than originally planned. Savinda also went out of his way to look after our group and felt personally responsible for our well being, including picking us up from local areas at odd hours when no other short trip transport was unavailable. I highly recommend this if you’d like to get the most out of your Sri Lanka experience. 10 out of 5 stars!

    # He is a kind and very good driver. # He knows every road and everywhere. # His driving is very safe. # Meemure Road is narrow and not good. But he is an experienced driver on that road. I recommendn him

    In March 2017, I visited Matale town and a wonderful raja gopuram which is entrance tower to Sri Muthumariamman Temple. 1874 AD. The raja gopuram has 108 ft height. You will see 1008 sculptures depicting Hindu deities. Sri Muthumariamman Temple is dedicated to Mariamman, South Indian Hindu goodness of rain and fertility. I was impressed due to the art and beauty of the architectural Sri Muthumariamman Temple image. The temple presents a Davidic style. Hindus and Buddhists community at the present use the temple. Worth to visit.

    If some one travel from Kandy to dambulla on the way in Matale Town has this colorful hindu temple. We where lucky it was a special festival day so lots of people around in beautiful traditional clothes. The building is very impressive.

    Old Hindu temple nicely maintained.

  • 5/5 Trypp A. 3 years ago on Google
    Impressive Hindu Temple located right off the Kandy road, 350 rupees to go inside and walk around the outside. All of the gods on the exterior are most impressive. There were several smaller alters inside, including one in the center that prohibits tourists from entering. You have to take your shoes off to enter and I made the mistake of stepping in a shallow pan full of water ment for cleaning your feet while exiting the side of the temple, so had wet socks. Beautiful figures, must be impressive when it's full of people.

    We currently used Savinda to our trip to Sri Lanka and Wow what a service. He went out of his own way to ensure we got the most of our trip from taking us to explore more of Sri Lanka than originally planned, to taking us to the local hotspots including mine factories, to ensuring our safety., and advising how much the locals should charge us. Savinda also went out of his way to look after our group and felt personally responsible for our well being, including picking us up from local areas at odd hours when no other short trip transport was unavailable. His services is a must when visiting Sri Lanka.

  • 5/5 Brendan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Traveling around Sri Lanka with Savinda was fantastic experience. Given the current situation, he was well prepared and made our trip effortless. He took us throughout Colombo, Galle, Ambalangoda, Aragam Bay and Kandy and we were able to see so much of the country thanks to his great knowledge. Would highly recommend using for any trips to Sri Lanka. Thanks again Savinda 🙏🏾

    We spent two weeks driving around Sri Lanka with Savinda with three young kids. Savinda was outstanding! He's safe, reliable, knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone looking to make the trip. He was great with our kids and great with ideas on places to see and things to do, especially on unplanned stages of your journey.

    My family and I traveled to multiple locations around Sri Lanka with Savinda. He impressed us as a reliable, safe, polite, courteous driver with good local knowledge not only of the locations we traveled to but local attractions, places to eat, local history, anecdotes and much more. He always delivered what he promised, and always kept his word in terms of departure and arrival times and everything else. I will have no hesitation in using Savinda's services if we are in Sri Lanka again and will recommend him to our friends and family. Over the course of the trips we came to get to know Savinda in a more personal capacity and truly enjoyed his sense of fun, quick wit and honesty and now consider him a friend.

    Savinda is a fantastic driver, we have used him on 2 separate trips to Sri Lanka, and my sister in law and cousins have used him as well. Savinda drives extremely safely, and knows the best places to stop and eat, and sightsee. Looking forward to seeing you again next trip 😊

    We just walked around the outside as it was closed but very colourful. We've definitely seen more interesting temples

  • 4/5 Patrick B. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is overlooked. But it is very colourful temple. Entrance fees are 200 from outside and 300 rupees if you want to inside. Dress code: covered shoulders (t shirt), shoes off for inside visit. You need to cover just under your knee, so long trousers or long skirt (towel in emergency) is advised
