Descrição

Discover Colombo’s spiritual soul on a half-day tour. Visit temples, mosques, and churches, and experience the unique multicultural identity that defines the city.
Begin your journey in tranquility at the Gangaramaya Temple, one of Colombo’s most famous Buddhist sites. Founded in the 19th century, it blends Sri Lankan, Thai, Indian, and Chinese architectural styles. Inside, hundreds of Buddha statues and relics illustrate Sri Lanka’s deep Buddhist heritage.

Just a few minutes away lies Seema Malaka, a floating temple on Beira Lake designed by renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa — an oasis of calm for meditation and reflection. Offer lotus flowers and light oil lamps — symbols of peace and impermanence.

Step into a world of color, rhythm, and devotion at the granite Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Built in the early 20th century, it’s one of the most sacred Tamil shrines in Colombo. Inside, see intricate carvings and vivid statues of Lord Ganesha, Shiva, and other deities — surrounded by the rhythmic sounds of bells and chants.

Observe a Hindu puja ceremony, where priests offer fire, flowers, and incense in a beautiful display of spiritual energy. Learn about the meaning of banana-leaf meals, a key Tamil tradition symbolizing purity, simplicity, and gratitude. You may also enjoy a traditional tasting if you wish.

In the heart of Pettah’s lively trading district stands the Red Mosque, with its distinctive red-and-white domes and Moorish architecture. Built in 1908, it remains a symbol of Colombo’s Muslim heritage. Learn how Arab traders first brought Islam to Sri Lanka in the 7th century, and how the Muslim community shaped the city’s commerce and culture.

Stroll through Pettah’s local shops and markets — full of textiles, jewelry, and spices. If you wish, you can enjoy a faluda, a refreshing rose-flavored drink, or samosas, a classic local snack.

End your tour at the sacred St. Anthony’s Shrine, one of the most beloved Catholic churches in Sri Lanka. Built in the 19th century, it is dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of miracles. Your guide will share stories of how Sri Lankan Christians express their faith through prayer, song, and candlelight.

See how worshippers light special candles and pray with deep devotion, creating an atmosphere of serenity and grace. Learn about how Christianity in Sri Lanka blends European and local traditions. If you wish, you can light a candle or offer a prayer. The visit may finish with a stop at a nearby Christian-run bakery to sample traditional Sri Lankan pastries or fruit cake.
