Orukemgala Temple lies in Udamattala, close to the Mattala Airport. Temple lies at a rocky outcrop with two canoe-shaped rock pools (kema) which has given its name Orukemgala. It is said that there is a mugger crocodile in one of these rock pools.

An ancient stupa, covered with weed resembling a mound of earth can be seen at the temple.
