Alavatugoda Devale

Dedicated to Saman, the god of Sri Pada (Adams peak) this Devale goes back to a remote period. The shrine itself is small and windowless. Within are two wooden presses one containing a figure of Saman and the other Visnu. The Devale stands on a mass of bare granite which rises a few feet above the surrounding land. Close to Devale was Viharaya which was burnt down by British soldiers.

Alawathugoda Devale, during the kandyan period was a place of sanctity whither litigants went to swear an oath or undergo ordeals. The Devale conducts an Asala Perahara annually.
