Temples in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka prides countless spectacular religious venues for
Muslims, Buddhists, Hindi and Christians and so is the amount
of public holidays that the Sri Lankans are so happy to enjoy.
Also the amount of working hours has been kept fairly low
in most places with many shops closing at 6 p.m. to allow
enough time for visiting temples and mosques.
