Golden era Buddhist Temple

SRI LANKA---According to records available, the period of twenty five years from 1930 to 1955 is considered the ‘Golden era’ of the temple and Buddhism in Negombo, under the leadership of M.B Sri Medhankaratissa thera. Standing opposite Harischandra Maha Viddyalaya in Negombo, ‘Bodhirajaramaya’, popularly known as the Angurukaramulla temple, is one of the few places of worship available for Buddhist folks in the city. Records on the history of the temple suggest that it has taken nearly hundred years for the overall construction activities to complete. Bodhirajaramaya is a Buddhist temple; an asset to the city and a right of the generations to come. [link]
