The Sahassavathuppakarana records that Ritigala Jayasena, the master of the Angampora martial art and one of the ten great warriors of King Dutugemunu, who had the strength of ten elephants, was born in Kutumbarikannava in the Rohana region of Sri Lanka. A duel took place between Gotaimbara and Jayasena at the Tammenna cemetery. While preparing for the fight, Gotaimbara managed to strike a blow with a spear that severed Jayasena's head, who was worshipping the god Saturn. It was an illegal blow that was delivered before the fight began, not in accordance with the rules of combat. However, Ritigala Jayasena's neck was severed. The god Saturn, who was worshipping, saw this. The god became very upset at that moment. In order to save Ritigala Jayasena's life, he brought the head of a bear and fixed Ritigala Jayasena's head to the severed trunk. Saturn, the god who watches over everything, at that time, due to the commotion, fixes the bear's head on the other side. Ritigala Jayasena, who was reborn in this way, became the Mahasona Yaksha, who is 81 cubits tall, has 03 eyes and 04 hands, wears red clothes, has a black body, and rides a giant boar vehicle. Although the art of Angampora was banned during the colonial period, the art of Angampora in Ritigala still exists today. The people of that area build a monument to Mahasona or Ritigala Jayasena and worship it. Here is a video of the monument.

A great temple called Aritta Maha Seya is being built in the same place as the rock where the Arahant Aritta Maha Thero lived. It is built on a rocky surface slightly above the Mahason statue. Anyone who visits the Ritigala forest can see these places. Watch this video to see the Maha Sohon statue and Aritta Maha Seya. If you want to go to these places, you have to contact a guide. We were supported by a resident of the same village. He knows them well. If you want to contact him, his name is Ritigala Dayaratne.+94 72 974 0158
