Heepitiya Purana Viharaya

Heepitiya Purana Viharaya stands at Alawathugirigama, within the Kundasale Divisional Secretariat area of Kandy District. On 23 February 2007 its image house was registered as a protected archaeological monument, entered in Extraordinary Gazette No. 1486 under the description "image house with paintings and images."

Beyond that registration, dependable public information is limited: no verified date for the current buildings, no named founder or patron, and no documented historical events tied to the site. It is best approached as a living village temple, protected for its image house with its paintings and images, rather than one with a settled written history.
