    The History of this temple goes back to the time of Buddha but this area around Badulla (especially Uva Province) goes way back in to the time of 19th -18th century BCE. Emperor Rawana was ruling this country with Badulla as the capital. It is also believed that the War of Rama and Rawana took place in this area. There are many places and names which identify this area as one of Rawana’s capitals; Seetha Eliya, Seetha Kotuwa, and Rawana Ella as described in Ramayana. It is said that the Rawana finally lost the war and his defector brother Vibishana took the capital to Kelaniya and the Uva gradually got lost in history until the 5th century. The Buddha and 500 Arhants visited this Island for the third time on the invitation of Naga King Maniakkhitha to Kelaniya. On that visit, Buddha came to Badulla on the invitation of King Indaka (now elevated to the Deity status), ruler of the Namunukula Mountain Range. King Indaka built a Stupa enshrining some hair and Mukthaka Dathu (drops of sweat turned in to pearls) of the Buddha on the location where Buddha made his sermons. This is the birth of the Muthiyanganaya Stupa. Since then this Stupa and the temple has been expanded, reconstructed and renovated by many kings. The `Thorana’ of a unique design of six levels at the entrance of the temple is of an unknown period. First level includes the main entrance and above it on the second level is a typical Makara (dragon) Head. On the sides of the head are two guard figures and at the corners are two lion figures. On the third level there are two `Vamana’ figures and at the edge two animals probably lions. These figures are not as clear as the lion figures on the second level. On the centre of the third level is a high stand which goes right up to the fourth level on it are two bulls and the special features of these bulls are that they are decorated and have large humps. Such bulls are a feature of Hinduism and this feature indicates some influence of Hinduism in the making of this structure. Lastly and on top of the fifth level is a seated Buddha statue. The fifth is dedicated to the Buddha statue. The peacocks at the sixth level complete the outline of the k structure. At the entrance is a colourful `Makara Thorana’. Right above the entrance and below the dragon head is a P figure of Maitre Bodhisattva. On the right hand side of the Image house is a statue of Deity Indaka, the protector of the Muthiyanganaya Holy Ground and the Namunukula Mountain Range. On the right is the statue of Maitre Bodhisattva. k. Passing the Image House you come to the holiest structure of the temple, the Stupa which enshrines the hair and the Mukthaka Dathu of Buddha. The initial stupa built by the Deity Indaka in the 5th century BCE has been enlarged by e King Devanampiyatissa (250-210 BCE) of Anuradhapura Era.

    Located in the heart of Badulla city. Has been blessed by Lord Buddha in his 3rd visit to Sri Lanka, where he visited Kelaniya and then to Muthiyangana. A few of Lord Buddhas hair was gifted and a stupa was constructed at this sight by a local chieftain named Indaka. The stupa and the temple complex was further developed by numerous kings. The site is one of the 32 sites in the Island which has saplings from the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi.

    (Translated by Google) Muthiyangana Rajamaha viharaya Muthiyangana Rajamaha Viharaya Located in the town of Badulla in the Uva Province, this Rajamaha Viharaya is a very popular place among Buddhists. Sources say that Gautama Buddha came to Kelaniya with five hundred Arahants on the full moon day of Vesak, the eighth day of his enlightenment, at the invitation of Lord Indika, the ruler of Namunukula. The Indika deity built a dagoba in this place where the hair relics and the relics of the Supreme Buddha were enshrined.

    The lord Buddha has visited Sri Lanka three times. One of them came to this place and it is an important sacred place among the Buddhists. Located in a quiet environment. Also It is located close to the city and offers parking facilities outside the shrine. Muthiyanganaya is one of the sixteen temples called "Solosmasthana".

    Even though this is a very important Buddhist temple for Buddhists it's a very noisy and commercialized place. Since it's located middle of a city you don't feel calm in this place. There is parking available by the side of the temple and it's paid parking. You see donation boxes on every corner of the temple.

    Muthiyangana Raja Maha Viharaya lies in the midst of the city of Badulla in the Uva province. The History of this temple goes back to the time of Buddha but this area around Badulla (especially Uva Province) goes way back in to the time of 19th - 18th century BCE. It is believed that a mighty king called Rawana was ruling this country with Badulla as the capital. It is also believed that the War of Rama and Rawana in Ramayana also happened in this area. There are many places and names which identify this area, such as Seetha Eliya, Seetha Kotuwa, and Rawana Ella as described in Ramayana. It is said that the Rawana finally lost the war and his defector brother Vibishana took the capital to Kelaniya and the Uva gradually got lost in history until the 5th century lost in history. On the eighth year after attaining Buddha hood, the Buddha and 500 Arahants visited this Island for the third time on the invitation of Naga King Maniakkhitha to Kelaniya. On that visit, Buddha came to Badulla on the invitation of the Deva King Indaka (now elevated to the Deity status), ruler of the Namunukula Mountain Range. King Indaka built a stupa enshrining some hair and Mukthaka Dathu (drops of sweat turned in to pearls) of Buddha on the location where Buddha made his sermons. This is the birth of the Muthiyangana Stupa. Since then this stupa and the temple has been expanded, reconstructed and renovated by many kings. The entrance to the temple is the 'Thorana' of an unknown period. This is a unique design with six levels.

    Located within Badulla city limits, this Buddhist sacred place is a place of great historical value. This place can be known as one of the solosmasthana(සොලොස්මස්ඨාන) in Sri Lanka. Stupas, paintings etc. of historical value are also located here. We all have to be careful to behave modestly and not pollute during this kind of worship.

    Muthiyanagana Temple is located right in the center of Badulla town. It is among the most famous landmarks of the town. The temple is slightly crowded on regular week days and it is nearly impossible to make a peacefull visit on poya days due to the heavy crowd. The surrounding roads are always busy and therefore this temple is not for the usual peace and calm of mind. Both the Stupa and Bodhi are very scenic and unique with historical value. The main entrance features a classic Sri lankan Dragon gate. You can buy any offerings such as flowers, oil lamps, flower chains, incense sticks and wicks from the stalls located just outside the temple premises. Parking is available for any vehicle type on the road behind the temple.

    My recent visit to Muthiyangana Temple in Badulla left me with a profound sense of tranquility and spirituality. This ancient temple, nestled amidst lush greenery, offers a serene atmosphere that instantly calms the mind and uplifts the soul. The temple grounds are immaculately maintained, reflecting a deep reverence for the sacred site. The stunning architecture and intricate carvings showcase the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. As I explored the temple complex, I was captivated by the mesmerizing beauty and historical significance of each structure. The main shrine, dedicated to Lord Buddha, exudes a sense of reverence and devotion. The soothing chants and the fragrance of incense create an aura of spirituality, inviting visitors to engage in introspection and prayer. The temple's surroundings, including a picturesque pond and well-maintained gardens, provide a serene ambiance for meditation and reflection. It's a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and find solace in the presence of nature. The temple staff were courteous and helpful, providing guidance and information about the temple's history and rituals. Their dedication and commitment to maintaining the sanctity of the temple are commendable. Visiting Muthiyangana Temple was an enriching experience, allowing me to connect with my spiritual side and find inner peace. I highly recommend this sacred place to anyone seeking solace, cultural exploration, and a deeper understanding of Sri Lanka's religious heritage.

    (Translated by Google) A place of solace Thumula Namunukula Girihisa The wind blows Turning around Let us worship our Buddha Hair Relics of Thilowa Thero Treasure of Dammuthu Kata .. Sadu Sadu Seya .. Badulla Pura Muthiyangana .... Who always shone with the virtue of Buddha .. Indika Devan's protector of 3,000 .. Who was the victory ground of the Helas .. I worship the kings of Muthiyangana Maha Se .. Muthiyangana Maha Se Radhun has been named as the seventh of the sixteen places. But it is questionable that more details about it have not been published in the genealogies. This place is located in the center of Badulla town in Badulla district of Uva province. The Mahavamsa does not talk about this. The same is true of the Bodhi Vamsa and the Dhatu Vamsa. However, Samantha Pasadika, who is older than these history books, mentions that Sambuddha was three times more than Meduwa during the Dharma period. For the third time, a group of five hundred monks came and joined the quarantine at the Maha Chaitya, Thuparama Chaitya, Maha Bodhi, Muthiyangana, Deeghawapi and Kalyani. Thus, the place where Muthiyangana Se Radun is located can be identified as a place where the Supreme Buddha resided in peace. It is said that this place was a settlement when the Lord Buddha visited this place on his third visit to Ceylon. Muthiyangana is a sacred place which was easily illuminated by the Sambuddha Dhamma and belonged to the area where the Yaksha tribe used to live. It is said that a double fruit tree of the Sri Maha Bodhi has been planted in this Muthiyangana sacred area. It is noteworthy that there are only 32 such places among the vast majority of temples throughout Sri Lanka. Two-fruited trees have been planted in various parts of Sri Lanka with the aim of spreading Buddhism and Buddhist attitudes throughout the island. The aim was to spread Buddhism. For this purpose, clean lands were selected and the state sponsored it. Thus, BC. According to the Thupavamsa ancient chronicles, King Muthiyangana built the Great Stupa of King Devanampiyatissa in the 3rd century by treasuring the sacred relics here. Later, King Jettatissa enlarged the stupa. The temple was later destroyed by enemy invasions. It is said that it was repaired under the patronage of kings like Rajasinghe II. On the full moon day of Vesak, our great sage kings of the Hirugoth dynasty went to Lak Derana with over five hundred great sages born in their blood, such as Sariputta, Moggalana and Ananda. This is the last time Lak Derana has seen the wonderful Isiwaras. Kelaniya, Samanthakutha rock, Deeghawapi lands, Sambudhu Siripa welcomed. After lunch, the Blessed Ones set out in search of the Uva Wellassa ground. Indika Devi, who was overwhelmed by the smell of the Buddha blowing while kissing Siripa Kamal on the Wellassa ground, came with her entourage and took refuge in the Lord Buddha. The history of Muthiyangana testifies that at that time he was in a state of restraint equal to that of the five hundred great Arahants, only the Anagami nobles and the Sage Nicholas. Before the Lord Buddha came, Lord Indika asked him for something to worship. At that moment, with a great miracle, he transformed a drop of sweat left on his body into relics. Still with the blue hair relics, those magnificent pearl relics abound in the pearls of the Great Stupa. The only relics that have become relics of God and human beings are in this great stupa.
