A Buddhist temple in a predominantly Catholic town, Angurukaramulla is worth visiting for the 6-metre reclining Buddha in the main hall and the collection of older murals depicting scenes from the Jataka tales. The temple also holds a small museum of antique furniture and religious artefacts. It's a short walk from the beach strip and rarely crowded — a calm counterpoint to the busier colonial sights nearby.
