At first view it’s an obviously Hindu temple from the detailed wall and roof architecture, to the little windowless main shrine. However, the ruins of the erotic tantric sculptures, and plain moonstone point to a more Buddhist origin.

Aluvihara is most famous as the place of creation of the Buddhist religious script ‘Triptaka’. The stupa is literally built on top of a large rock. Meanwhile, the rock itself is riddled with a cave system. As of present 13 caves have been found, with many more buried under old cave-ins. You will have to climb up and through the rock to see the historic and interesting insides of these caves and learn more about the history within.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter an interesting hour spent poring over the interesting sights you will be leaving Aluvihara at approximately 1245 hrs and spend some time having lunch at one of the good restaurants in the area (At your own expense).
