It is believed that the Madanwala Rajamaha Viharaya lying between Hanguranketha and Rikillagaskada has been in existence since the Dambadeniya Kingdom (1232 – 1272) since the ancient Buddha statue in the temple has been dated to this era based on the features.
Records belonging to the Kandyan Era mention king Wimaladharmasuriya II (1687 – 1707) and king Viraparakrama Narendrasinha (1707 – 1739) as benefactors of this temple.
The cave temple and the monks residence building of the Madanwala Rajamaha Viharaya has been named as protected monuments by the Department of Archaeology.
