[h=2]Maragala Gallenagoda Len Viharaya[/h]Along the Colombo-Ratnapura-Pelma-dulla-Nonagama highway, before coming to Godakawela near the 24th kilo meter post from Pelmadulla lies the Ridivita junction. From there runs a partly metalled road to Ridivita (where a bus or two plies), lying against the backdrop of coconut, kitul, arecanut, rubber, coffee and tea woods straddled by sprawling rice fields on the hill slopes.About 1/8 of a mile along this rugged road (from this Ridivita junction), is another place called Maragaha handiya junction. From there, lies an uphill gravelled road leading into the interior. Reposing on a rocky hillock surrounded by cocoa, coffee, and coconut plantations is a typical rock cave shelter called Maragala Gallengoda Len Vihara, coming down from ancient times. This is that historic spot where the village belle had offered those fruits of thiyabara to king Valagamba in exile. He had lived there, built those len viharas and later developed them.
