There are also a few remaining ancient Buddhist temples in Jaffna, despite its Hindu majority. One of the most famous is Kadurugoda Temple in the Kadarodai region of Jaffna. It is believed that this temple dates back to the Anuradhapura Era. The complex has around 20 visible stupas that look like no other stupas in Sri Lanka. The site of the Kadurugoda Raja Maha Vihara has been declared an archaeological site, and is maintained by the Sri Lankan Army.
