Beauty of Bandaragama – වීදාගම වැව (වල්ගම වැව/ ලෝකපිල වැව)

දින දින නොඅඩු දින පුද පැවති මනහර
දනමන රඳන සැදි ගෙඋයන් සිරිත් සර
වැජඹෙන පසිඳු මහ රයිගම්පුර අතුර
බබළන සොඳුරු වීදාගම මහ වෙහෙර

A pinch of Horana

Horana is a beautiful city surrounded by greenish paddy fields and small hills. There are different places in and around Horana including archeological sites, temples and lakes. This is my overlook of some places at Horana.

Visit to Pathahawatte Raja Maha Viharaya

The temple is now known as Sri Pushkararama Rajamaha Viharaya at Pathahawatte, Kothalawela is certainly an important piece of Raigampura Heritage – and not just for its religious significance.

Reachable by taking the right turn at ‘Kotalawela junction’ – near the 11th-kilometer post on Panadura-Horana Road, the entire land of the temple of 12 Hectares (5 acres), an archeological reserve since 1970, is surrounded by a huge wall of kabook. It is 2 meters wide and the height varies between 2 -3 meters. Given the depth of the foundation, the original height could have been easily twice of that. This wall dates back to either Kotte or Gampola period.

මස්විල ඇල දිගේ බොල්ගොඩ ගගට

When I went to Nirosh’s house one day he invited me to see the Maswil Canel and since I have little time we decided to walk along the Canal up to the Bolgoda River.

Dawal Perahera of Veediyagoda Raja Maha Viharaya – The Pride of Raigam Purawara

Veediyagoda Raja Maha Viharaya very famous in Bandaragama area. Every year they have very proud & colorful “Esela Perahera”. It was one of the most important & large “Perahera” in the area of Raigam.

Visit to the Historical Rajamaha viharayas in and around Raigam Koralaya ( Bandaragama) And Kodigaha Kanda forest sanctuary

Raigama, according to some historians, was the seventh capital of ancient Lanka, after Anuradhapura (4th century BC – 10th century AD), Polonnaruwa (10th century – mid-13th century), Dambadeniya (1232–72), Yapahuwa (1272–93), Kurunegala (1293–1341) and Gampola (1341–47). It is said to have been the capital for 68 years, until Parakramabahu VI moved to the comforts of Sri Jayawardenepura-Kotte in 1415 (Wikipedia.)

On the road from Colombo to Bandarawela – Part I

School holidays! Its trip time once again. We were getting back home to Bandarawela from Colombo….. a trip that we had done many, many, many times before. But, this time my father and mother suggested that we visit all the interesting places along the route so that I could write a Trip Report on the journey
