This
lake
is
located
in
the
new
part
of
Anuradhapura
city
in
North
Central
province,
Srilanka.
This
particular
area
has
a
very
long
history.
In
the
beginning
this
area
is
called
as
"kombhichchikulama
hena"
later
changed
its
name
"kumbhichchankulama
".this
was
an
agricultural
area
in
the
past
with
a
huge
forest
area.it
gave
shelter
to
many
animals
including
elephants,
samba,
deer,rabbits,
fox
and
many
may
varieties
of
animals
and
birds.
In
the
dawning
of
19th
century
(somewhere
between
1970-1980)
this
beautiful
land
transformed
into
a
residential
area
with
the
modern
development.
Slowly
and
silently
the
flora
and
forna
missed
it's
identity
and
vanished
forever.
The
animals
and
birds
inherited
to
this
land
had
to
find
new
places
for
living.
Today
its
a
highly
populated
area
with
modern
architecture.
Still
the
lake
remains.
Early
day's
there
were
large
paddy
fields
surrounded
by
this
lake.
But
Today
only
large
buildings
can
be
witnessed.
During
last
10
years
the
government
had
renovated
the
lake
and
there
is
a
jogging
path
around
the
lake.
Still
today
you
can
see
some
birds
and
reptiles
in
this
lake.
It's
a
touristic
area
today.
Quite
nice
to
enjoy
a
peaceful
evening
with
your
family
while
enjoying
some
refreshments.
Waterfront
homestay
is
situated
150
nearer
to
this
beautiful
place.
