Mulgirigala Raja Maha Viharaya in Sri Lanka
Mulkirigala Raja Maha Viharaya which can be also known as Mulgirigala Raja Maha Viharaya is a beautiful and small temple. This is known as little Sigiriya by village folks as it is situated as the temple has been constructed on a massive natural rock similar to Sigiriya.
Unlike many other popular temples around the country, this temple is not well known by many people, yet it carries its own charm and serenity. You can easily reach to the temple from Tangalle town and spending few hours can be a relaxing experience which is not too far from Colombo.
A large amount of collection of paintings and sculptures belonging to the Kandyan Era can be witnessed in the caves and image houses in the Vihara premises.
