Heritage illustration of a royal ceremony under a tiled pavilion
A 2,500-Year Ceremony

Where kings were wed,
and pilgrims fed.

In ancient Anuradhapura, the most important moments of life — royal weddings, the coming-of-age of princes, the welcome of visiting envoys — took place under open-air pavilions, surrounded by family, attendants, and the rituals of the king's court.

Margosa Garden is our modern echo of that tradition: lake-facing, open-sky, gathered under ancient trees that have shaded ceremonies on this site for longer than any of us can remember.

Margosa Garden · Our Open-Air Venue

A wedding under the Margosa.

Set on the lake-facing edge of the estate, Margosa Garden is our open-air venue for weddings, anniversaries, special ceremonies and corporate gatherings — surrounded by ancient Margosa (kohomba) trees, the breeze off Nuwara Wewa, and a kitchen that has been feeding celebrations in this corner of the Sacred City since the 1970s.

Whether it's an intimate poruwa ceremony for thirty, a dinner reception for two hundred, a corporate retreat under the trees or a family birthday — our team designs the day around you.
