Accepted Answer

Gangaramaya Temple was established in the late 19th century by a prominent shipping merchant named Sri Jinarathana. While it is not an ancient ruin like those in Anuradhapura, it holds immense modern historical significance for spearheading the Buddhist cultural revival during the British colonial period.
