THE PLACE

Dalukgolla Raja Maha Viharaya is an old temple in Ampitiya, within the historic Gangawata Korale area of Kandy. Its protected fabric includes the image house and the monks’ dwelling, while published accounts connect the temple with the Kandyan period. The site is better approached as an active place of worship than as a conventional visitor attraction. Details about surviving paintings and objects should be confirmed at the temple, as access and the condition of interiors may change.
