Korathota Rajamaha Viharaya

Korathota Raja Maha Viharaya ist ein alter buddhistischer Tempel in Kaduwela, Distrikt Colombo in Sri Lanka. Dieser 2000 Jahre alte Tempel ist einer der wenigen antiken Tempel in der Westprovinz und liegt auf einem Berggipfel neben dem Belungala-Felsen in Kaduwela. Dieser Tempel rühmt sich, die ältesten und längsten Höhleninschriften im Bezirk Colombo zu besitzen.

Die Geschichte der Gegend reicht mindestens bis ins Jahr 212 v. Chr. zurück. Brahmi-Inschriften auf dem Höhlentempel erwähnen eine Widmung der Tochter von König Walagamba und eines örtlichen Beamten. Dieser Tempel hat zwei wichtige historische Inschriften, die besagen, dass dieser Tempel Maha Sanga von einer Tochter von Mahachula Mahatissa geschenkt wurde. Die zweite besagt, dass eine Höhle Maha Sanga von einem Provinzführer namens Sumana angeboten wurde. Nachdem Sie diesen Hügel bestiegen haben, werden Sie lebende Beweise dafür sehen, dass dieser Ort während der Herrschaft von Seethawaka als Festung als besondere Hochburg der Rajasinghes und König Mayadunne genutzt wurde.
