The Devinuwara Uthpalavanna Vishnu Devalaya πŸ’™

The Devinuwara Uthpalavanna Vishnu Devalaya, located at the southernmost tip of Sri Lanka in Devinuwara, is one of the oldest shrines in the country. It was built in honor of the god Upulvan (Vishnu), who is believed to be the protector of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. The shrine was first constructed by King Dappula I. It was later destroyed by the Portuguese, but during the Kandyan period, King Rajasinghe II restored it. Daily offerings and rituals are conducted there, and the annual Esala Perahera festival is also held as a ceremonial tribute to the deity.
