"A 120-year-old Buddhist temple beside Beira Lake with an extensive collection of artefacts and a museum that displays antiques ranging from Hindu sculptures to vintage coins and watches. The entrance is flanked by two Buddha statues and a wooden door carved with traditional elephant and swan motifs; the complex even houses the country’s smallest Buddha statue, kept in a glass box and typically viewed through a magnifying glass. Visitors should dress modestly." - Mrigaa Sethi & Zinara Rathnayake
