Kataragama

Kataragama is one of the places of religious significance in the South East of Sri Lanka. Kataragama which is situated
on the North bank of the Menik Ganga can be reached only by road. The closest important town is Thissamaharama.

Kataragama emerged as a place of religious worship in the 3rd century B.C. God Skandha is recognized as the ruling
deity of Kataragama. His influence is believed to extend over the whole of the Southern region of the island which the
devout refer to as ‘Deiyange Rata’. God Skandha’s favours are sought by Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and Muslims
alike. Very close to God Skandha’s devale is the Kiriwehera.

Kataragama has now been declared a sacred city. The areas encircling the shrines have been demarcated. The bazaar
has been located away from the shrines on the Southern bank of Menik Ganga. New pilgrims rest and guest houses
have been set up. Therefore more facilities are now available to pilgrims and tours.
