About Kalutara
Kalutara is a coastal town south of Colombo in Sri Lanka, at the mouth of the Kalu river, with a hollow white stupa and palm-fringed beaches.
Kalutara lies on the south-west coast of Sri Lanka, about forty kilometres south of Colombo, where the Kalu river meets the Indian Ocean. The town is best known for the Kalutara Bodhiya, a Buddhist temple beside the river mouth whose white stupa is hollow inside, with a shrine within. The coastal road and railway line pass by, and the broad river is crossed by a long road bridge.
