You'll find the Brief Garden three kilometres inland from
Aluthgama. A barely controlled riot of a garden out of The Jungle
Book, the grounds are a lovely place to get lost. The house, which
used to be the home of Bevis Bawa, brother of renowned architect
Geoffrey Bawa, has an eclectic range of artwork on display - from
homoerotic sculpture to a wonderful mural of Sri Lankan life in
the style of Marc Chagall
Pilikuththuwa Raja Maha Vihara is an ancient cave temple situated in
Pilikuththuwa, Sri Lanka. It is located on the Gampaha - Wathurugama
road approximately 3.8 km (2.4 mi) away from the Miriswatta junction
and 1.6 km (0.99 mi) from the ancient Buddhist temple, Maligatenna
Raja Maha Vihara. From the archaeological evidences, it is believed
that this area was inhabited since pre-historic period. Caves with drip
ledges prove that the temple may have been used during the periods
of 2-3 century BC by the Sangha as their abodes. According to the
legends connected with this temple, King Valagamba (89-77 BC) used
to stay in this historical place from time to time during the invasion
from South India
