Havitha Monastery

Back to Gallery

A mother and her daughter visit Isdhoo Havitha. The opportunity for future generations to witness this historical site is diminishing, as the Havitha is at risk of being lost to coastal erosion.

Known as “Isdhoo Havitha”, these ruins of an old Buddhist Monastery, located in Isdhoo in Laamu Atoll are a remnant of Buddhist history. The protective barrier that was placed around the shoreline has already been lost due to intense coastal erosion.

Caretakers climbing the Havitha to pick overgrown grass and maintain the site. This historical location is visited by locals and tourists.
