Ambuluwawa Temple

 

It is not uncommon for the world's most beautiful landscapes to be altered by rulers from time to time, adding new creations to the tourist attraction.  Three districts of Ambuluwawa Kanda, which separates the two Kandy districts from the Gamipola area, are formed naturally by a single black rock. Only the slope towards Hemimathagama is covered with natural forest.

 Ambuluwawa access road is built on the left hand side after passing the third kilometer of Gamipola Hemimathagama road. From there you can reach the top of Ambuluwawa hill after crossing the 3 km hilly road.

 Gampola was the fourth kingdom in the history of Sri Lanka.  Historians have pointed out that four kings of the Gampola kingdom reigned. The royal palace of those kings was located in the village now known as Godagama at the foot of the Amibuluwawa hill.  However, after the British invasion of the upcountry in 1815, all the antiquities of the Gamipola Kingdom were destroyed and land was used for coffee cultivation.

 By the end of the British rule, most of the land at the foot of Ambuluwawa Hill was occupied by only two or three people. Until 1970, the lands were occupied by the government and distributed to the landless people.  It has been there ever since

On March 21, 1997, Ambuluwawa was climbed. On March 27, 1997, the construction of the Ambuluwawa Access Road began ten years later.  DM to focus on Amibuluwa  Passed.

The first part of that stupa is the paddy field.  It symbolizes the paddy farmers and the second part of the dagoba is made in the shape of a water hyacinth to symbolize the vegetable farmers.  Mentioned.  The third part of the dagoba is made in the shape of a cacao nut to symbolize the local fruit growers.  The bodhi tree in front of the dagoba is a sapling from the Sri Maha Bodhi tree in Anuradhapura. Between the bodhi tree and the dagoba are the Catholic, Hindu and Islamic religious centers on the right.  The Sri Padasthana is located just beyond the Chaitya.

 Nearby is an observation deck where you can observe the surrounding mountains.  There is a standing stone statue carved near the Ambuluwawa Sri Maha Bodhi and the lower part of the building where the statue is placed has been prepared for the meditators.
