THE PLACE
Marassana Gal Ambalama is a compact roadside shelter built entirely of granite. It stands opposite Marassana Divisional Hospital and should not be confused with the better-known wooden Marassana Ambalama in the paddy fields. Broad openings in the rear and side walls provide light and air, while a simple entrance and half-height front wall keep the building practical and open. Published local information associates its construction with the establishment of the hospital, though a firm construction date is not given.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S NOTES
The ambalama is visible from the main Thalatuoya–Marassana road opposite the hospital. Park without obstructing traffic or hospital access and treat the shelter as a public resting place.
