マータラの東 25 マイルにはディクウェラの町があり、そこにはスリランカで最も素晴らしい仏教寺院の 1 つがあります。ウェウルカンナラ ヴィハーラ寺院は、仏陀の坐像が中心にあります。高さ 160 フィートのスリランカ全土で最大の彫像で、その起源はラジャディ王 (1782 ~ 1798 年) の時代にまで遡ります。

寺院は 3 つの部分に分かれており、最も古いものは約 150 年前のものです。ただし、これには特に興味はありません。次の部分では、悪魔と罪人の等身大のモデルが詳細にグラフィックで示されています。悟りへの道を歩まないと、こういうことが起こります。罰には、沸騰した大釜で溺死させられる、半分に切られる、内臓を抜かれるなどが含まれる。最後に、8階建てのビルほどの高さの巨大な仏陀坐像があります。
