Places of worship

Kotahena is the location of some places of worship:

  • Dipaduttamarama, where in 1885 for the first time the Buddhist flag was shown and where some jewels found in the Buddha stupa in Piprahwa and were enshrined in the Ratna Chetiya in 1908.
  • Sri Ponnambalavaneshwarar Hindu Temple
  • St. Lucia's Cathedral (1881) this is called a cathedral because it holds the chair of the bishop of the diocese in this case the Archbishop's chair. The cathedral, one of the largest churches in the entirety of Sri Lanka, is also the first bishop's house in Colombo, Bishop Bonjeen. St Benedict's College was formed by de Lasale brothers and Good Shepherd Convent was formed by Good Shepherd sisters with the invitation of Bishop Bonjeen St Lucias College was a government school but now under the Archbishop.
