Sri Muthumariamman Temple
Sri Muthumariamman Temple is a Kovil at Matale, Sri Lanka, built in late 1800s, and dedicated to Goddess Mariamman (goddess of rain and Fertility), a deity worshipped by Hindus. It has adapted the common Dravidian Architecture usually seen in major Kovils. However, one of the unique features in this kovil, is its high Gopuram (an enticingly decorated large tower) named 'Raja Koburum'. It is one of the largest Gopurams in Srilanka. Make sure to notice the Architectural features of this sacred cultural heritage.

Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress
Sigiriya Rock Fortress is a World heritage site as announced by UNESCO in 1982. The creation of this rock has an appealing backstory. There are main elements of this fortress worth noticing. For example, the Fresco paintings of female figures which have no exact theory of what it represents up-to-date but the theories made so far are exciting. Another feature would be the Lion’s Paw entrance you will encounter at the start of the climb. The other elements such as the mirror wall and the boulders garden are some interesting sights as well. Visiting the Rock fortress will give you a worthy experience for your visit and add more joyful memories.
