- Seenigama Muhudu Viharaya - The Seenigama Devalaya, or Sri Devol Maha Devalaya, is a historic temple near Hikkaduwa in Sri Lanka’s Galle District. Located on a small island about 300 meters offshore, the temple is dedicated to Devol Deviyo, a local deity known for protecting fishermen and their boats.
Believed to be around 1,300 years old, the temple has a documented history of over 300 years. Originally on the mainland, coastal erosion has turned it into an island shrine.
Visitors can reach the temple by boat or, during low tide, by wading through shallow waters. The site is famous for its spiritual significance, attracting devotees seeking blessings, protection, and solutions to personal issues. Remarkably, the temple survived the 2004 tsunami, which devastated the surrounding area, enhancing its revered status among locals and tourists.
