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

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. |
