Wahalkada D4 Veheragala Rajamaha Viharaya

Believed to have been built during the reign of King Walagamba, this sacred site, marked by the Vahalkada entrance gate constructed in 2019, feels ancient. After entering the temple, you can see a ‘temple area’ with modern structures. To the south of the temple, there is an ancient Bo tree, rich in history. The lower part of the temple houses a Dharma Hall with an image house, an old residential building, a Sunday School building, and a newly constructed Atavisi Buddha Bodhi enclosure.
