Wewurukannala Viharaya-temple complex Beliatta Road, Dikwella, Sri Lanka
In the town of Dikwelle stands one of the most amazing temples in Sri Lanka, the Wewurukannala Vihara Temple. It houses the tallest Buddha statue in the country, dating back to over years before. There are three parts to this temple, the oldest part being 250 years old, the second part houses life size models of demons and sinners shown in graphic detail, explaining what would happen if one fails to follow the path of enlightenment and lastly, the enormous seated Buddha that is as tall as an eight-story building. Walls of the Wewurukannala Vihara Temple also depict the path towards enlightenment through comic strip representations or paintings of events that occurred in Buddha’s life.

Talalla House presents
When approaching Wewurukannala Vihara you can’t help but notice the 50m (160ft ) tall statute of a sitting Buddha, the largest in Sri Lanka. The temple dates back to the time of King Rajadhi (1782 – 1798) and it’s often thronged with worshippers. Before reaching the Buddha you pass through the hall of horrors full of life-sized models of demons and sinners. The enormous seated Buddha is as high as an eight storey building, and you can climb to its top for magnificent views of the surrounding area.

Dickwella Sri Lanka Vlog | Temple + Perfect Beach (NOT Hiriketiya!)
When you're staying around Tangalle Beach, Matara, or anywhere in that general area on Sri Lanka's south coast, a perfect day will combine the beach, a bit of culture, and a killer sunset session. I was recently staying at the chilled, posh private villa Meda Gedara just on the outskirts of Dickwella and they have a guy who is from Dickwella itself and took me on an Insider's Tour! I explored hell with a devil king at Wewurukannala Vihara Buddhist temple, also known as Dickwella Temple. I had planned to spend a few hours at the famous Hiriketiya beach but that was like hell as you'll see, spilling over with tourists. And I ended up on the remote and fabulous Batheegama beach at a little spot with swings, situated in a way that the sunset is perfectly framed between the sea and palm trees.

INSIDER TIPS
1. At Dickwella Temple you'll learn the punishment for loads of crimes and gain a real history of the temple and the religion if you spent time with a lovely and informative guide. Mine made my visit to the temple memorable. The cost to enter is 200 Rupees and I gave the tour guide 200 for his time as well.
.2 Unless you want to learn to surf, ditch Hiriketiya Beach all together and head out to one of the gorgeous unspoilt beaches. Drinks weren't expensive but they weren't cheap either but the experience and the rugged beauty make it the right choice for an afternoon to remember.
Places Mentioned In This Vlog:
- Meda Gedara (my home base for 3 nights) via Eden Villas in Sri Lanka
- Mahi Mahi beach bar and restaurant

The 600 feet tunnel was fist build by excavating the mound of earth. Once this was completed, the 88 cubit (39 metres) buddha statue was started. The statue was completed in 1976. The whole length of the tunnel is decorated with various scenes from Jataka stories. The cover over the buddha statue has been build with the financial assistance of a generous donor from Japan after 1976.

Buddhist as well as non Buddhist live in the world pay homage to this temple and it's very popular among the people in the world. the colossal Buddha statue is a wonderful mastter piece.the hight of the statue is 88 cubits (39m) The highly significante of this temple is the tunnel shrine.It is 3km from matara town on the matara - kataragama main road.
