They walked through the Buddhacharitha Vanam, which illustrates significant moments from Buddha’s life, and Jataka Park, where stories from Buddha’s past exist. They also visited Dhyana Vanam, intended for meditation practices, and Stupa Vanam, home to the impressive Maha Stupa. Their experience culminated with a trip to the Buddhist Heritage Museum, further enriching their understanding of the area’s cultural significance.
