KALUTARA
Calling Code: +94
More or less synonymous with rush and reed ware, (try to visit the
permanent exhibition in the towns Basket Hall), Kalutara was also a famous spice-centre
in the 16th to 18th centuries. There are fine beaches safe for swimming . Immediately
south of the Kalu Ganga Bridge on the main road is the Gangatil Vihara, which
has a hollow dagoba (Buddhist shrine) with an interesting painted wxterior. By
the roadside theres a small shrine and the bodhi tree where drivers often stop
to make offerings to ensure a safe journey to Wadduwa, 8km north of Kalutara.
