✓ Story of this place -
Stories of yore reveal that King Dutugemuwa pledged to the Deity Kataragama that he would construct a grandeur devale when he defeated King Elara whose domain of rule was Anuradhapura. When the war was concluded King Dutugemunu arrived in Kataragama and met with Deity Kataragama and it is said that this meeting took place on the top of Wedihiti Kanda.
The King then asked as to where the shrine should be constructed. After using a bow and arrow, he stated that the shrine should be constructed where the arrow falls. Having shot the arrow, it fell on the surface where the present Kataragama Devalaya is today. This Devalaya was constructed by King Dutugemunu.
