At this town the Kalu Ganga River meets the ocean, dividing into two channels by means of an island which has been used as a mid-point in bridging the river. At the end of this bridge is Kalutara Dagoba where all Buddhist-driven vehicles stop to pray for a safe journey. The Dagobas shell is hollow and contains a smaller dagoba inside. The interior has paintings from the life of the Buddha. Kalutara is famous for its sweet and juicy mangosteens.
