Kottiyarama Mula Rajamaha Viharya is a temple built on an ancient Buddhist Temple Complex in Mutur. The entrance to the temple is through a recently built lion mouth painted in white. The ancient ruins are located at the top of the hill. A fairly large stupa sits at the top.

A large new stupa is been built around these ruins now. There are a number of drip ledge caves with inscriptions of their donations and rock ponds among the ruins.

The top of this mountain gives one of the most spectacular views in the Trincomalee Area. Travelling from Trincomalee towards Serunuwara, the Galkanda mountain range can be seen rising above the flat fields as you pass the Muttur town.  The lion’s mouth can easily identified as glittering in white at the bottom of the mountain.
