Passara Dehikindayaya Ambalama is in the middle of a beautiful paddy field in Sapuroda GS division of Passara Divisional Secretariat. According to legend, this ambalama dates back to the reign of the King Watta Gamini Abaya (89-77 BCE) better knowns as king Walagamba. The Ambalama which exists today is a building made of cement and roofed with calicut clay tiles.
At present, this building has been used by drunkards due to its disuse. The building is also crumbling. Some of the rafters of the roof are rotten and the roof tiles are broken and water seeps in. The ambalama is in urgent need of attention from the relevant authorities before the roof collapses.
