Thanamalwila Devram Vehera Rajamaha Viharaya is one of the hundreds of ancient temples belonging to the Magama Kingdom lying in the Hambantota District. As with many others, the archaeological value of the temple has been long neglected and is bound to disappear soon.
A preserved ancient stupa with a diameter of approximately 40 meters and rows of granite pillars of an ancient building can be seen at the temple today.
This temple lies between Thanamalwila and Lunugamvehera junction in the area known as Kotakumbura next to the A2 road itself.
