THE PLACE
Kobbekaduwa Rajamaha Viharaya and the nearby Kobbekaduwa Walawwa belong to the historic village landscape west of Kandy. The temple’s protected archaeological features include a Buddhist shrine and a drip-ledged rock cave. The walawwa represents the domestic history of an established Kandyan family, giving the area both religious and social interest. Published information about visitor access and the surviving interiors is limited, so the two places should not be treated as permanently open attractions.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S NOTES
Approach Kobbekaduwa from the Peradeniya side and confirm the final village road locally. Seek permission separately before entering the temple, walawwa grounds or photographing private areas.
