Seema Malaka Temple, Colombo

Seema Malaka was originally constructed in the late 19th century. The original structure slowly sank into the water in 1970s. In 1976, Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa was brought in to redesign and construct the temple.

Though Buddhist, this temple is designed more for meditation than prayer, with an interesting mix of obviously Buddhist statues and those from Hindu religions

More statues inside the temple are mostly gifts from other Asian countries including Japan and Myanmar.
