Founded in 1894 by Sinhalese settlers, this is one of KL's major Theravada Buddhist temples. It's a particular hive of activity around Wesak Day, the Buddha's birthday, when a massive parade with multiple floats starts from here before winding round the city.
Meditation classes take place on Monday and Thursday at 8pm and on Friday there is a dharma talk at 8pm. Classes run on a donation basis.
