Bodhi Tree
The people of our village go to the Bo tree to perform religious activities. It is not such a big place of religious worship. Each person in the village has been assigned the task of conducing religious performances at that place each day. All the people in the village come to that place on every Poyaday to conduct religious activities. A Sil Campaign was conducted at that place on Vesak poyaday. On a recent day a branch of Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi was also planted here. A Buddhist monk was fetched to conduct a Dhama sermon here in order to observe the Vesak Poya day.
All the people who live in the village participate in every religious activity with a devout mind. Mrs. M.T. Somawathi revealed some important details to us about this place. According to her, people conducted religious activities in Vilivita temple before this place was made a place of religious worship. Later a shrine room was constructed at this place in which this Bo tree which is more than 80 years old exists. People started to conduct religious activities at this place. Thirteen years have elapsed by now since the aforesaid shrine room was constructed. Sil campaigns and Bodhi poojas are conducted at this place every poyaday. After the demise of the old Bo tree, an attendant bo tree of Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi was brought to Vilvita temple and subsequently that Bodhi tree was brought to this place in a religious procession before it was planted at this place on 06th May 2016. Devotees worship this place every day conducting Bodhi poojas.
