To show your respect, it's advisable to dress appropriately, and if you wish to blend in with the locals, wearing white attire would be a fitting choice.

(Translated by Google) Natha is the purest Buddhist deity among those venerated in the 4 devales and therefore the most important of the city, it was believed that Natha could influence the political events of the kingdom so the new rulers were obliged to present themselves to his temple when they ascended the throne. On the right at the end of the fence is the sanctuary, built by Vikramabahu III in the 14th century, it is the oldest building in Kandy, it is a gedige (South Indian-style stone sanctuary) surmounted by a small dome, the shikhara. In the center are a more recent pavilion and a Buddha shrine. with 2 fenced bodhi trees. (Original) Natha è la divinità buddista più pure tra quelle venerate nei 4 devale e quindi la più importante della città,si riteneva che Natha potesse influenzare le vicende politiche del regno quindi i nuovi sovrani erano obbligati a presentarsi al suo tempio quando salivano al trono. Sulla destra alla fine del recinto si trova il santuario, costruito da Vikramabahu III nel XIV secolo, è la costruzione più antica di Kandy, si tratta di un gedige (santuario di pietra stile indiano del sud) sormontato da una piccola cupola, la shikhara. Al centro si trovano un padiglione di epoca più recente e un santuario del Buddha. con 2 alberi bodhi recintati.

The Four Devales is a place of religious significance and is located in close proximity to Kandy’s star attraction, the Dalada Maligawa. The Four Devales are the temple complexes that are dedicated to the Gods that are believed to have protected Kandy and a significant portion of the Esala Festival celebrations are in honor of this. The oldest of the Four Devales is the Natha Devale that dates back to as far at the 14th century and is perched atop a stone terrace with an elegant gateway and the temple grounds are surrounded by Bodhi trees. Adjacent to this is the Pattini Devale, the temple dedicated to the Goddess of Chastity and a climb up the carved steps leads to the Vishnu Devale.This Devale which is dedicated to God Vishnu, a notable Hindu God, consists of a drumming hall and this temple signifies the close relation between of Buddhism and Hinduism. Further away from this is the brightly painted tower doorway of the Kataragama Devale which is devoted to the God of War, Lord Murugan.

Really beautiful place, worth the price of the ticket and the time it will take to visit (quite a lot!). The atmosphere is great, locals consider it a very sacred place. Go dressed appropriately and, if you want to join the locals, in white.

Another good place for visit

This temple is said to be the oldest of the 4 Devales connected to the main royal palace and temple complex. As the main one has a lot of visitors and tourists, it is worth visiting the Devales which are a bit quieter and more tranquil if you would like to stop and take some time just to take in the whole place. It isn't far at all, so worth going to on your way in/out.

Natha Devalaya is one of the Hatara Devale in the Kandy, the other three being the Vishnu, Kataragama and Patini. These four Devalayas have a long association with the Royal Palace ( Maha Vasala) and the Temple of Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa) and has been venerated by Buddhists and Hindus alike from the inception. During the Kandy period, Natha was was the highest ranking deity, and then is was Vishnu, Kataragama and Patini in that order. It is also believed that the “Natha” appeared in many forms in Sri Lanka in different regions and during different Eras. One of these forms is “Avaloktheeshvara” Bodhisattva who is a highly worshipped Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism. The “Natha Devale” is situated directly facing the Dalada Maligaya and this building is the oldest surviving structure from the Kandyan Kingdom. The devale was built by King Vickramabahu III in the 14th Century. The building has a Dravidian architecture with a “gedige” style. The structure has 3 stories but the 1st and the 2nd floor levels serves no practical purpose. The roof is a dome with a shape of a stupa. The Devale has two stupas and a recent excavations have revealed a circular shape basement probably a Mandapa which has been destroyed by invaders. The stupa near the Devale is thought to contain the bowl relic of Buddha and was broken in to by Relic Hunters in 1889. The Image house facing east contains an ancient “siripathul gala” or a foot print of Buddha engraved on a stone. The Bodhi tree in this devale is a sampling of the Sri Maha Bodhi in Anuradhapura. The Vahalkada or the entrance to the area is a roofed building with two guard stones on the sides and a makara thorana on the top. This Devale also plays a key role in the appointment of a new King. All newly appointed kings would come infornt of the image of the Natha and select a name by which he is to be known. Primary Source : “Kandy” By Central Cultural Fund

The camera of the television was shooting. What is it? When I was thinking, people came out of the golden door. The golden door does not usually open. (A friend of Sri Lankan who came with me) And the police chief of Sri Lanka also appeared. It seems to say that terrorism has ended. And I will go upstairs. There are people on the left side of the stairs. It is a row to look at the teeth of Buddha, so I will try to line it up. It was carefully worshiped in a godly room from a small door❗ Then we go out the second floor and pour the candle oil to light the candle. I will return the passage that I came.

This is a important relegious place in this place

Dalada Maligawa separated by an imposing brick wall is the shrine of the Natha Deviyo. There are three entrances to these premises. Two of which pass through roofed and ornamented entrance gateway buildings with doratupala figures on each side and a Makara torana on the top carrying the image of gods. While the other entrance is from the Maligawa premises. The Natha Devala stands distinct with its crowning gedige (vaulted roof) from the buildings and architectural styles that surrounds it. This prominently Hindu architectural style has been built following the South Vijayangara style of the 14th century. The Natha Devala building resembles the Gadaladeniya temple and the Adahanamaluwa Gedige. The Natha Devale is built on a platform of dressed stone, and is three storied, surmounted by a sikhara or dome in the shape of a stupa. The two upper stores are non functional. The architecture of the Natha Devala has been an important aspect for dating the monument to pre Kandiyan times. The Natha Devala has often been quoted to be the oldest building in the city of Kandy, indicating that the worship of god Natha in Kandy could go back to at least the 14th century or even earlier. Scholars have quoted much evidence to support this fact. Reference in the Chulawamsa to king Narendrasinghe has been interpreted to indicate to the existence of the Natha shrine, before the Kandiyan period proper Further evidence in support of its early origins is found in the epigraphic records; the Sagama Inscription of Buvanekabahu V dated 1381 A.D. which refers to the god of Senkadagala Devindu as Nathaswami, indicating the power exerted by this divinity in the political field. And a slab inscription on the wall of the Natha Devala supports the fact that the Devala was in existence in its present form in the 16th century. This refers to the ruler named Jayaweera Mahahun Tena making some land donation to the people who were instrumental in destroying Portuguese forces in their wars against Kandiyan rulers. The Natha devala played a significant role with regard to Sinhalese royalty. It was at this devala that a Prince raised to the throne had the golden sword of state gird on him by the Frst Adigar at an auspicious hour. The sword placed at the foot of the Natha Deviyo, was picked up by the Prince who then proceeded to take his oath within the devale precincts pledging that he would rule the country according to the Dasa Raja Dharma, the ten attributes of a good King and always use the sword with righteousness. John Davey in his account of the Interior of Ceylon writes that the ceremony of choosing a name and putting on the regal sword by the Prince who has ascended the throne of Kandy, was conducted at the Natha Devale. - amazinglanka

Vishnu Devale of Kandy, a shrine which is located to the north of the Natha Devale, is in the inner complex of the palace. That shrine is dedicated to God Vishnu, one of the Hindu Triad, is considered a sober divinity who was committed to the protection of Buddhism from the beginning. He is the god that protects Sri Lanka, thus if he protects Sri Lanka he protects Buddhism.[3] Lord Buddha prophesied that Buddhism would flourish for 5,000 years.[4] More than 2500 years of that 5000 years has gone past. It is said that Lord Natha is still in the battle of protecting Buddhism from Mara, and he has sent gods from the heaven to earth to protect Buddhism.
