Description

This is a 45m tall  Alawala Devin Panna Ella Falls (Dunu Mala Ella Falls)  and the surrounding area are of great historical importance and steeped in legend.

Near the Devin Panna Ella there are three large caves, one stretching back for a distance of about 0.5km, and according to local villagers, the nearby town of Ratnapura can be reached through it. In ancient times, Sri Lanka’s King Vijayabahu III is said to have made a home of two of the caves. Along similarly royal lines, the ashes of Sri Lanka’s ancient King Parakamabahu II are said to be enshrined in the Dambadeni Seya Stupa in the nearby Attanagalla Raja Maha Viharaya (temple).
