IMPORTANT-
keep
this
sacred
place
tidy
,
don't
leave
any
plastic
bags
bottles
etc,
as
the
environment
has
kept
so
clean.
Lets
help
to
keep
that
Maintenance
without
Breaking.
The
temple
was
a
meditational
centre
earlier
but
was
converted
to
a
temple
in
Kandyan
era.
The
road
to
this
temple
was
from
old
teldeniya
village
but
was
submerged
due
to
the
Victoria
dam
where
you
will
able
to
see
some
traces
of
roads
comming
towards
this
temple.
As
to
the
myths
it
is
believed
that
Siddhartha
was
born
on
this
temple(
yes
its
bit
ironic
to
think
that,
but
thats
a
legend,
it
might
also
be
true
even.)At
the
bottom
of
the
temple
youll
see
an
old
Sal
tree,
the
painting
cave
is
situated
at
the
top
of
the
staircase
above
Àvàsageya.
The
shrine
is
divided
into
two
parts
.
Main
cave
contains
the
paintings
of
sùvisivivarana
and
sath
sathiya
along
with
decorative
paintings.
Second
cave
contains
paintings
of
solosmasthàna
and
deva
àràdanaya.
The
specialality
of
the
layer
(badàmaya)
is
that
the
whole
ceiling
is
covered
by
a
sort
of
cloth
and
then
a
thin
layer
of
wood
apple
gum
,
clay
and
makulu
mati
is
applied,
you
can
see
the
a
part
of
that
cloth
in
the
second
cave
ceiling.
One
special
rear
painting
which
contain
the
painting
of
Thrisingha
which
you
can
see
in
the
main
cave
left
side
of
you
when
you
stand
at
the
entrance
of
the
cave
facing
the
seated
buddha
(beside
the
door)
why
i
mentioned
it
specifically
is
that
you
won't
able
to
see
such
kind
of
painting
every
where
on
other
temples
this
is
so
unique.
