We are constantly reminded that previous merits are necessary for the land of birth to be called the most blessed land. We can identify the jurisdiction of the Pradeshiya Sabha as one of the territories that can provide the most justification for that fact. From one end of the Dompe local council area, which spreads its territory over one of the most beautiful areas of the Gagabada Patthu in Siyane Korale, Western Province, the Kelani River flowed in a way of pride.
Our council jurisdiction is blessed with many historical values that are second to none regarding environmental values and scenic beauty.
The historical Lunugama Siriparakumba temple, which is believed to have been protected by King Parakum VI, is a prominent factor of that value.
The Keragala Padmavati Piriven Raja Maha Vihara was the greatest of all piriven monasteries in Sri Lanka at the request of Padmavati Kumarika, the daughter of Rna Nisshanka Alagatkonara Prabhuraja’s Bhatrubhuta Dalasengamu Nigantarut Arthanayake Senadhipathini. This is described by ancient documents about the Keragala Rajamaha Vihara, which is able to acquire great value for our territory, and it is the holy place that is mentioned in Saddharmalankara Wattthula Pabbata Katha Pupata and Hansa Samendesh.
Many valuable historical facts will be revealed during the excavations conducted under the auspices of Samanabedda Rajamaha Viharatna.
Also, the ruins of the Walagamba Raja Maha Vihara, Dangalla Raja Maha Vihara, Dethispala Bodhin Vahanase, Maddegama Raja Maha Vihara built around 1775 AD, Anuragoda and Mahaloluwa Tampita Vihara, Lengampala Vihara etc.
In addition to all these theories, upon further investigation, King Herediri was walking and saw the dew falling on the gomu called Pingamuwa, Dangalle was known for giving alms to the monks, Mylavalana was the place where Queen’s brother settled, and Kannimahara was called because King Walagamba gave virgins for various functions, The Apa Dompe Regional Sabah jurisdiction, consisting of 133 village service domains, with villages that have been given beautiful names with many legends, etc., is a haven of many historical values.
