Kelaniya Buddha Temple is a Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka, located in Kelaniya, 10 kilometers northeast of Colombo. The brief introduction of the temple includes a pagoda and a hall, with plain white walls and steps leading to the opposite side of the river in front of the archway. There is a small stupa on the other side of the river. It is said that the Buddha gave his cassock to King Kelania and hid the cassock in the middle of the pagoda. The small stupa is also a part of the temple. The hall is splendid, with many Buddha statues.
