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.
