Kadadora Viharaya (පුරාණ කඩදොර විහාරය) | Kotmale Dam | கொத்மலை | Travel Vlog 04 | Epi 04

Описание: Kadadora Vihara is situated close to the Kotmale Dam.

Kotmale Reservoir is the first hydro-power plant project executed under Mahaweli Development Programme in Sri Lanka. The construction of Kotmale Dam started in 1979 and was completed in 1985. It is said that a total of 14 tea estates, 57 villages, and 54 religious places had to be left out due to the construction of the reservoir. This temple is a significant one among them.

The interesting thing is, Kadadora Temple emerges out from the water in prolonged droughts, very rarely. In the history of more than 30 years of the reservoir, it may have become visible only three or four times. In the drought, the central hills faced in 2019, Kadadora Vihara became visible again.

A number of people can be seen there watching Kadadora Vihara.

It is kind of a mystery how Kadadora Vihara is still protected up to this level for more than 30 years. There is no sign of any religious place or any other structure which gone submerged in the reservoir.

Vehicles can be parked at the side of the road and about 400m footpath in the bush leads to the temple.
