THE PLACE
Halloluwa Pallegama Ambalama is a village wayside rest in the Halloluwa area, within Kandy District. The open shelter follows the practical form of an ambalama: a roof, supporting posts, and resting ledges built for travelers on foot.
Published information about its age and restoration history is limited.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S NOTES
The ambalama may still be used locally. Keep the approach clear, avoid climbing on the benches or supports and ask residents if access is uncertain.
