THE PLACE
Gallengolla Pothgul Rajamaha Viharaya is a Buddhist temple at Urulewatta, reached from the Pilimathalawa–Paranapattiya side. It is listed as a protected archaeological monument, with a documented phase of development in the nineteenth century.
It has not become an unattended ruin. It remains in use as a place of worship.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S NOTES
The final village roads are narrow. Ask the clergy before photographing interiors or protected objects, remove footwear where required and leave offerings and religious items undisturbed.
