Pusulpitiya Raja Maha Viharaya🙏

Pusulpitiya Raja Maha Viharaya


Pusulpitiya Raja Maha Viharaya is an ancient temple of historical value located in the village of Pusulpitiya in the Kotmale Nawangama Grama Niladhari Division in the Nuwara Eliya District of the Central Province of Sri Lanka.  Legend has it that during the reign of King Elara, Prince Dutugemunu spent his youth in Anuradhapura.

 According to legends, a Brahmin from Dambadiva, according to a description in a treasure trove, got to know about a gold nugget placed in a rock in the Nainkelina port near the Kotmale Oya and married a son from the same area in order to obtain it.  When the time came, the Brahmin, who had sacrificed his son and obtained the golden pot, fled to a nearby field to soothe his tiredness, and had gone to a nearby stream to drink.  It is said that when the Brahmin who drank the water returned, he was overwhelmed with grief and madness when he saw that the rock had broken and the gold had sunk into it.  Legend has it that the place where the pula was placed in that field was later called Pusulpitiya and the Pusulpitiya temple was built on the rock where the pula was placed.

 History books state that the Sacred Tooth Relic was secretly placed three times in the Pusulpitiya Raja Maha Viharaya.

  •  Polonnaruwa Kalinga Magha Dynasty (1215-1236).

  • The reign of King Vijayabahu III (1232-1236)

To protect the Tooth Relic from the crisis caused by the British conquest of the upcountry in 1815, the temple was hidden in a sapling grove from April 6 to 22, 1815.  Today, this white tree is known as the Tooth Relic.

 🙂 Travel to Sembuwatta Lake❤️              I had heard of Sembuwatta.Sembuwatta is one of my favorite places to visit.It is located in the Matale area.I was able to visit it as I pleased.From Matale you have to climb a large mountain to reach there.            It was a very cold environment there.There was a lake built on the top of the mountain .It was a beautiful environment. On one side of the lake is a finesse forest. On the other side is a tea eastate.             Its a beautiful place with a cool climate.This beautiful place has attracted many local and foreign tourists.I am afraid that its beauty will be lost due to tourism.If so, its beauty will be lost.I was delighted to see the place around the lake.I think it's so wonderful to be able to go there again .

🙂 A remedy for stress🙂              I used to do various things to reduce the stress on my mind during busy days.Drawing can be taken as something I do to clear the mind like that.                  I'm not good at drawing images that come to my mind.I don't even have the ability to draw.I do it for mental satisfaction.Most of the time I used to watch easy pencil arts on youtube.The small arts in it draw me to the painting. It's important to clear the mind .I smile when I see some of the pictures I have drawn.In fact, they seem to be hand-drawn by someone who does not know how to draw.But I enjoy it.Drawing is a better way to forget about a really busy life.I will continue to do so for my own self-satisfaction.
