Tomb of King Sitawaka Rajasinghe (සීතාවක පලමුවන රාජසිංහ සොහොන) is a historical site located on the Avissawella-Amithrigala road, close to the main road. King Rajasinghe I was a significant figure in Sri Lanka's history; Born as Tikiri Bandara, he led several battles against his brother-in-law, Veediye Bandara, ultimately earning the title Rajasinghe, the Lion King. One of his notable achievements was the “Bloody battle of Mulleriyawa” against the Portuguese army. Despite being equipped with more advanced firepower, the Portuguese were defeated by the Sinhalese army using their ancient fighting method called “Angam Pora”. The vast paddy field in Mulleriyawa reportedly turned red with the blood of the fallen Portuguese soldiers. Unfortunately, discontent among the Buddhist public and prelates contributed to the downfall of the Seethawaka kingdom. King Rajasinghe razed many Buddhist religious sites under the advice of his chief adviser, Aritta Kivendu, who converted to Hinduism. His last battle was with Konappu Bandara, who aimed to free the Kandyan Kingdom from Seethawaka. At the decisive battle at Balana, Rajasinghe's troops suffered defeat, and he retreated to the royal park at Pethangoda. Legend has it that he was struck by a fatal bamboo splinter in the foot, although this story remains subject to debate.
Nawagamuwa Pattini Devalaya is a historic temple situated in Nawagamuwa, Colombo District, Sri Lanka. The Archaeological Department has declared the Devalaya as a protected monument due to its importance in historical, architectural, and anthropological facets. It is a Buddhist temple primarily dedicated to all the gods. According to legend, King Gajabahu I (114−136) brought the ‘Pattini anklet’ from India after a victorious return with 12,000 prisoners. He built the Devalaya at the spot where he rested during his return to Anuradhapura. Another version suggests that Goddess Pattini arrived from India with 12,000 devotees from 16 castes and settled in this area. Some attribute the temple's origin to Neelaperumal Pandaram, who came from Kerala. Verifiable historical evidence about the Devalaya emerged during the Kotte period. Excavations have revealed building materials, wells, Dutch coins, and iron implements from the Middle Ages. Notable events occurred during the Kotte Period, including the inauguration of Hewagam Korale by King Rajasinha I and King Mayadunne's vow before going to war with the Portuguese in Colombo Fort.
