THE PLACE
Shaikh Usman Waliyullah Shrine The Dewatagaha mosque is one of the more prominent mosques in Colombo - its lovely exterior is almost an iconic part of the architecture near Town Hall. It is also partly a shrine to a Saint from the 19th century - Shaikh Usman Waliyullah - and Muslims and non-Muslims alike visit to pay their respects.
