By reading your post I got some fascinating glimpse into Sri Lanka’s rich history and culture. The Yudaganawa Raja Maha Viharaya is truly a remarkable, ancient tale and powerful heritage with which I wasn’t familiar earlier. the strength and spirit of the ancient Sri Lankan people had I got to know by reading the story of Prince Gamini and Prince Thissa. The massive, unfinished design and unique structure "Stupa" is a sight to watch. I love the way how the people carefully preserved the ruins, pillars, carvings, and other ancient features of their country. The nearby Yudaganwa Lake is like a treasure which keeps supporting in agriculture, fishing, and the local community’s needs. Thank you for sharing some potential tourist destinations of your hometown Buttala.
