The town is mostly British colonial style. Are there any vibrant Kovils hidden nearby.

Right in Nuwara Eliya town, you can also visit the Sri Swarnagiri Maha Viharaya, which has incredibly bright, ornate facades that contrast beautifully against the misty, cool climate of the hill country.

The Seetha Amman Temple is incredibly colorful and features thousands of intricate statues. According to the Ramayana epic, it marks the exact spot where Princess Sita was held captive by King Ravana.
