Seema Malaka (Sinhala: සීමා මාලකය) is a Buddhist temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The temple is mainly used for meditation and rest, rather than for worship. Situated in the Beira Lake, the temple was originally constructed in the late 19th century.[1][2][3] Seema Malaka is a part of the Gangaramaya Temple and is situated few hundred meters to its east.[4][5][6]
