Bogoda Wooden Bridge

Reviewed By Elsworthj - Melbourne, Australia

It was a wonderful experience to visit this attraction. The Buddhist monk on site explained the history of the bridge. It is a fascinating part of Sri Lanka’s history. The location is a bit of off track, several kilometres from Badulla. If you are into history, this is a must visit location.

Muthiyangana Raja Maha Viharaya

Reviewed By Travelwithjaya1 - Badulla, Sri Lanka

Muthiyangana Dagoba in Badulla: Badulla is situated at the foot of Mount Namunukula, which is the most significant and impressive peak in the southeastern part of Sri Lanka’s highlands. Similarly to Siri Pada (Adam’s Peak) in the southwestern highlands, Namunukula is guarded by a deity. Whereas one of the highest gods of the island, Samana, is the protector of Siri Pada and the Ratnapura at the foot of Sri Lanka’s most venerated mountain, it is a local deity,named Indika, who is the mountain god in the Badulla area. And just as Saman is connected to the legendary visits of Lord Buddha to the island, Indaka invited the Buddha, too. So the legend goes: When the Buddha, in the eights year after his enlightenment, visited Sri Lanka for the third time, he did so on invitation of King Maniakkika of Kelaniya. After resting at the foot of the mountain in Divaguhawa, he went (or flew) to the top of Siri Pada (Adam’s Peak), leaving his footprint on the summit, which is protected by Saman. But then he was invited by the guardian deity of the Namunukula, the above-mentioned Indaka, to visit his home region Badulla, too. So the Buddha did. When he rested in Badulla and held a sermon, beads of perspiration dropped to the ground, instantly transforming themselves into pearls. “Muthu” means “pearl”. So this place became known as “Muthiyangana”. It is held in hight esteem among Sinhalese people and counted as one of the 16 places of the island honoured by the presence of Lord Buddha. These Buddha-visited places are called Solosmasthanas. Badulla Muthiyangana Dagoba this being one of them. This stupa was erected by Indaka at the place of the sermon. Besides the pearls, it also contains hairs of the Buddha. Dagobas enshrining parts of the body of the Buddha, of course, are the highest category of Stupas.
