Seruwawila Mangala Raja Maha Vihara

Seruwawila Mangala Raja Maha Vihara ist ein alter buddhistischer Tempel im Bezirk Trincomalee in der Ostprovinz, der zu den sechzehn oder siebzehn heiligsten buddhistischen Schreinen (Solosmasthana) in Sri Lanka gehört.

Es wurde während der Herrschaft von König Kavantissa (2. Jahrhundert v. Chr.) erbaut und enthielt den Lalata Dathun Wahanse (heiligen Stirnknochen) von Lord Buddha. Es ist auf dem Land- und Seeweg erreichbar. Der Seeweg beginnt in Trincomalee nach Muttur mit dem Boot und weitere 16 km auf Straßen. Der Landweg führt über Kantale nach Allai, das etwa 45 km durch dichten Wald führt.

Laut dem verstorbenen Dr. RL Brohier war die Seruwila-Region ein riesiger Sumpf oder Villu, in dem sich die Überschwemmungen des Mahaweli Ganges sammelten. Dieses Dorf war während der Migrationszeit die Heimat großer Schwärme von Krickenten (Seru). Vielleicht wurde der Ort deshalb auch als Seruwawila bekannt.
