Short video on and description  ✍️


Below are some short videos that I have taken, a description of which is summarized below.


Dunhinda Waterfall


Dunhinda is a very popular waterfall in Sri Lanka.  It is 64 meters high.  So it is not a high waterfall.  But, considering its beauty, it is a great waterfall.  Due to the smoke-like nature of the water droplets, this waterfall is called Dunhinda.

 The source of this waterfall is called Badulu Oya, which originates from Badulla district.

 To reach this waterfall one has to take the Badulla – Mahiyangana main road.  Km from Badulla on this road.  A junction called "Dunhinda Junction" located about 6 km away.  The signboard with a gate on the right side of the road is easy to spot and the waterfall can be reached by walking for about a km along the small footpath starting from the junction.

Parking facilities are available near the main road.  There are vendors selling medicinal drinks and grains on both sides of the footpath.  So the footpath is not deserted.  But sometimes it is very narrow and you need to be careful.

 Avoid feeding the relawn on the side of the footpath, and avoid placing food in the view of the relawn.  Swimming near the waterfall is very dangerous.

Before reaching the main waterfall, you can see another waterfall called Little Dunhinda.  However, it is very difficult to reach the waterfall.  For that, you have to travel through a difficult path through the forest.


Mahiyangana Dagaba ( pagoda )




The Mahiyangana Pagoda is located in Badulla District of Uva Province, Korala under Aluthnuwara City Domain.

In ancient times, Mahiangana was known as Bhimthenna.  Among the cultural heritage found in Uva province, Mahiyangana Dagabhu has a prominent place.  Lord Buddha's first visit to Ceylon was also at Mahiyangana.

According to the details of the Deepavamsa, on the fifteenth day of the ninth year of Buddhahood, Lord Buddha's first journey to Sri Lanka took place to subdue the demons in Binthanna (present-day Mahiyangana).

According to legend, Mahiyangana Chaitya is said to have been built at the place where the demons were tamed.  Therefore, the Mahiyangana shrine occupies a prominent place in the minds of Buddhists.
