THE PLACE

Wegiriya Rajamaha Viharaya and its devalaya stand in the Udunuwara countryside. Archaeological evidence points to early occupation of the site, and temple tradition ties the caves nearby to followers of Sanghamitta Theri.


The tradition should be distinguished from firmly dated physical evidence.
