Ancient Kadurugoda Viharaya

The Ancient Kadurugoda Viharaya, also known as Kantarodai, preserves the ruins of an ancient Buddhist monastery complex of great age. Its most distinctive feature is the cluster of small stupas built of coral stone, standing in rows among palmyra palms like a silent city and offering a rare glimpse of the peninsula’s early Buddhist heritage.

The site is about a 15-minute drive, roughly 17.5 km, from Ratnagiri Heritage Home Stay. It is usually quiet, with little shade among the ruins, so wear sun protection and give yourself time to wander.
