Warakagoda Gallen Raja Maha Viharaya is a historic Cave temple in Kalutara District. The history of this temple is connected with the chronicles with the details about the fortress of Pasyodun Rata. Many believe that this temple was erected by the three brothers Manabharana, Keerthi Sri Megha and Sri Wallabha when they were occupying the fortress at Pasyodun Rata. The Pancayojana-Rattha or Pasyodun-vaga (present Pasdun Korale) was also a part of Rohana principality before the Parakramabahu’s ruleship of Dhakkhinadesa in 12th century.
The Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara or Kelaniya Temple is a Buddhist temple in Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, seven miles from Colombo. Buddhists believe the temple to have been hallowed during the third and final visit of the Lord Buddha to Sri Lanka, eight years after gaining enlightenment. Its history would thus go back to before 500 BCE. The Mahawansa records that the original Stupa at Kelaniya enshrined a gem-studded throne on which the Buddha sat and preached. Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara has become famous because of the beautiful paintings and sculpture by Solias Mendis depicting various events in the history of Sri Lanka
