THE PLACE
Halloluwa Pallegama Sellawali Rajamaha Viharaya is also known locally as Wela Meda Pansala. The temple is valued for its surviving collection of Kandyan-period religious paintings, which make the image house an important record of the region’s temple art. Published traditions differ on the precise foundation history, so no single origin story is presented here as established fact. The value of a visit lies in seeing the architecture and paintings in their temple setting, with due care for their age and religious use.
