75 Places in 17 Days Mega Tour – Day 14 – 17

We stay 2 day’s in Mathale & next day morning we went to our next destination – Mawanella. On the way we visited Dalada Maligawa , Kadugannawa Railway Museum , Dowson Tower & Kadugannawa Mawela Viharaya.

Pinch of Our Heritage – Pic Journey 1…

“Among the carvings, there are 125 series of decorations, 256 liyawel, 64 lotus designs in Pekada, 30 decorative patterns on timber, roof members, making a total of 514 such exquisite carvings.”

“The ‘Madol Kurupuwa’ is one of the finest examples of medieval carpentry excellence. It is a wooden pin (this Madol Kurupuwa) which holds together 26 rafters at the hipped end of the roof of the Digge of Embekke Devale.”

Random visit at places in ancient Seethawaka kingdom

During this journey I needed to visit at places in Warakapola-Karawanaella, Galapitamada-Nelundeniya and Ruwanwella-Galigamuwa roads. Ancient Seethawaka kingdom was situated over this area. Although I had a tight schedule before the journey, the evening shower ruined some of my plans.

One day trip to Sambuddha Maligawa and Bambaragala Viharaya at Polgahawela and Kotavehera Viharaya , Manikkadawara Viharaya and remnants of a Portuguese fort at Dedigama

Hence beginning of January we thought to travel to Polgahawela and Dedigama for a one day trip to visit few ancient temples and sites.
Starting at about 9.30am on the 7th of January 2013 we drove via Kandy road and turned off at Ambepussa to the Kurunegala Road up to Alawwa. At Walakumbura near the now famous train crossing with accidents you find the turn off road to Waduwawa.

A Pilgrim to “Suthighara Chaithya”

Our first travel location, the historic temple at Thalagama was located at a distance less than a kilometer from Ambepussa, the first train destination of Sri Lanka. The temple was consisted with three levels. The Sangawasaya, Dharma Shalawa and other general buildings used by Bhikku are located at the lower level.
