Sripadaya

Sripadaya is located in Rathnepura district Sri lanka. As Buddhists say, at the top of the mountain there is a mark of the foot Buddha. Giving that meaning they called as Sripadaya.
Since this area palatinate by a god call Saman, this forest named as Saman Dew Adawiya.

To reach to the top of the Sripada mountain there are three major roads called Hatton road, Rathnepura Kuruwita road, and Rathnepura Palabaddala road. amoung these three roads most beautiful and longest road is Kuruwita road.


On the way to top of the mountain Sripada, you will be able to watch such beautiful places.


When you going to worship Sripada one of conventional custom is getting bath from Seethagagula river and get clean.











When you reach to the top of this mountain perspective you'll not believe
This is a simple example for it.

All pilgrims used to watch the rising of the sun called Ira sewaya. In March you can see it very clearly since the rainy clouds and mist are lower.

There is place called Diwaguhawa near the Sripadaya where the Buddha got his alms. But people who live in this area say that still we couldn't find the place Diwaguhawa.


There are so many stories around Sripada, if you are a Buddhist at least one time you must have this experience.

Ambuluwawa

Ambuluwawa is the first bio- diversification center in Sri Lanka which is spread over 927 Acres. It is located in Gampola town in Sri Lanka. Abuluwawa is a place for every religions. Because there is a temple, church and other places also.
In another way, Ambuluwawa is a treasure for architectures in whole world. A park for kids, a place of different types of stones called 'gal uyana', the huge tower, and so many things which are still adding to the Ambuluwawa give a big worth to our architectures

Amoung all these things, Ambuluwawa mainly get famous because of the tower, which is shown in this figure. It is 423 ft height from the bottom.

As this photo shown, this is a place for all religion's persons.

As its creator said me that this started on 3rd March 1997 and it was taken to complete major parts of this Ambuluwawa bio- diversification center 6 years.

For the top of the tower brings you really attractive views such as these photos shows

I like to say thank you D . M. Jayarathne who was the creator of the Ambuluwawa bio diversity for your great idea which made a big tourist place for Sri Lanka .
As I think you must have that experience at least one time
