This will be my wedding venue!! This place has a super spacious parking lot and spacious reception hall. And it is all about the Sri Lankan culture. The staff is... Read More quite supportive but not very friendly. Food is not provided for events so you should order food from outside. The reception hall is very spacious and can accomodate around 300 people. Air conditioned. The tables are made out of teak wood, and the overall look is wooden. Around the reception hall there are some craft shops, model ancient houses and characters. Great place to hang out for young parents if you are trying to give your child a touch of sri lankan culture. Situated in a convenient place to access.

Read More life style and how self-sufficient old day Sri Lankan society functions in those days. Formerly, this spot was known as the “Battaramulla Janakala Kendraya” that showcased local crafts. The entire area was revamped for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in 2013 to exhibit the fascinating aspects of historic Sri Lankan village life, complete with a bird-watching zone and a mini zoo. The outstanding recreation of life in a Sri Lankan village has been achieved with precision and attention to detail. It’s not too far from Colombo, situated at the Jana Kala Kendraya in Battaramulla. From the well kempt garden to the many houses made of mud enclosed with wattles, to the figurines of men and women in many postures, the concept has been brought to fruition with much meticulousness. The simplicity and plainness that typifies village living is showcased in all the exhibits. “Ape Gama in Sri Lanka” attracts throngs of visitors each week seeking a short break in a unique venue.
