1. Hemantha Wanigasekara - July 31, 2010

In the lake, a tiny island now a powder magazine, but in former times was a harem of the king.The city looks down in to the valley of Doombera (Dumbara) through which Mahaveli ganga rolls.

It presents a scene of majestic beauty. On the opposite side of the town are monasteries of priests and above them, the residences of principal citizens.”

Illustrative of Sir J. Emerson’s work,
from sketches made on the spot by
Capt. C O’ Brien
Late Assistant Surveyor General, Ceylon – 1864
