Kande Vihara, also known as the Mountain Temple, is a significant Buddhist temple situated in the Kalutara District of Sri Lanka. It stands atop a hill near Aluthgama town. Founded in 1734 by Karapagala Dewamitta Thero, the temple has undergone renovations over the years, becoming a major Buddhist shrine in the country. Notably, it houses a 48-meter-tall Samadhi Buddha statue, one of the tallest sitting Buddha statues globally. The temple complex includes a stupa, Bodhi tree, relic chamber, image house, and other devalas. The ancient Bodhi tree here is believed to be over 300 years old.
