Let's go to see the beautiful Thampana reservoir ❤🌳🌱🎋🍃
Today we are going to see a beautiful hidden reservoir called Thampana reservoir..
This is on the border of Thampana reserve in Kurunegala district...
This Thampana reserve is a beautiful site surrounded by a range of mountains...
The history of this reserve dates back to the Valagamba dynasty...
Legend has it that King Walagamba lived in hiding near this mountain range and that the king organized his forces for war from here...
Later, the king built a temple here. It is known as Bamba Temple.
It still exists.
A pond can be seen on the site of the Bamba temple and legend has it that it was used for bathing by the King and Queen of Valagamba...
Similarly, it is said that King Walagamba made a tunnel through the mountain ridge from this reserve to the Silver Temple...
It is said that the king secretly came through this tunnel to build the Silver Temple, but the tunnel has not been found yet...
It has been found that there are rare plants around this Thampana Reserve, which has a high level of biodiversity.
But we can't visit it whenever we want, only one day in a month..
Thampana reservoirs and nearby Bamba temple are allowed to be visited only on Poya days and if you cross the Thampana reserve, you need to take a special permission.
