Ambuluwawa

The Ambulawawa Biodiversity Complex was opened to the public on December 18, 2006. Ambuluwawa was built on the top of the hill according to a concept of the Hon. Minister D. M. Jayaratne. It was inaugurated by Hon. Mahinda Rajapaksa, then the Fifth Executive President of Sri Lanka. With Hindu Kovils, Muslim Mosques, and a Christian Chapel, the Ambuluwawa Biodiversity Complex is Sri Lanka's first multi-religious sanctuary. A large winding tower resembling a stylized Buddhist stupa distinguishes the Ambuluwawa temple complex.

Ambuluwawa Tower is known as "Govi Jana Seya" in Sinhala. The 48 m high conical structure is a magnificent structure that allows you to walk to the top of the stupa. Many observation decks have been created to see the stunning surroundings that you can only see on the top of Ambuluwawa hill when you walk to the top of this stupa which is not seen in any other Buddhist temple. As you ascend the stairs, the width of the stairs decreases and it takes on a spiral shape.

The great Sinhala King Buvanekabahu IV founded the Gampola Kingdom (1341-1357 AD). Mayura Sandesa's 14th-century messenger poetry depicts this enchanting rock and its surroundings in this way.

“When the stars are just beginning to fade in their positions in the sky when the soft scent of flowers wafts softly over the leaves When the sun first rises and casts its rays over the Eastern peaks Go on from Ambuluwakada with a happy heart.” (Mayura Sandesa - Verses 25 & 26)
