Kataragama is a town in Uva.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
There are temples for Buddhists and Hindus as well as a mosque here. There are many puja stalls outside of the temple complex which makes it looks like a market place, but locals are selling the traditional marigolds, fruit, incense and other religious items to take into the temples.
So clean with nice dining.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
