Tourist attractions

• Delgamu Vihara - This temple is reputed as the hiding place of the Tooth relic of Buddha during the ruling period of Portuguese in the country.

Its view of Samanala Kanda and its size led to its widely accepted identification as the Diva Guhava of the Mahavamsa. It is located about 5 km off from Kuruwita town on Erathna road, one of the ancient road to Sri Pada.
