Lankathilake Sri Maha Vishnu Devalaya which was built in the 14th century is proof of the architectural features of the Kandyan era. There are historical data to say that this temple was built using the architectural technology of South Indian architect Sthapathi Rayer and the plan of the chief minister of King Buwanekabahu. There is a stone encryption in Sinhala & Tamil as proof for this. The inner chamber is a special feature. There are 7 statues of gods who are honoured in Sri Lanka and the special fact is that each statue is accompanied by statues of goddesses as well.
