The Gadaladeniya Temple's design is of South Indian origin with a Devale attached to it, similar in character to the Natha Devale and the Gedige of Adahana Maluwa. The main shrine room has a seated Buddha statue and the remains of some paintings of the Gampola period. A half day excursion called the 'Temple Loop' is a great way to sample the lovely rural surroundings of the Hill Capital.
