One of the sixteen sacred places of Buddhist Sri Lanka, in a town most travellers only pass through.

A temple in the middle of Badulla town, counted among the Solosmasthana — the sixteen places tradition says the Buddha visited. Its stupa and shrine sit inside a walled compound that anchors the town's oldest quarter.
