Uva Wellassa

-


 

  • I was born in Uva Wellassa. Historic Wellassa is about 3271 square miles in size.

  • Uva has  become a fertile land with water from the main rivers Kiridi Oya, Gal Oya, Menik Ganga, Kumbukkan oya and Wil Oya. 
  •  This place is called Wellassa as there were 100,000 paddy fields near a lake.
  •  The ancients say that Prince Saliya, the son of King Dutugemunu, transported rice from Wellassa to Anuradhapura on his birthday. 
  • The area formerly known as Bathhala is now known as Buttala because rice was transported to all parts of the country. 
  • In the past, every house in Wellassa was a granary. 
  • Growing up in Uva Wellassa was a proud and courageous generation of people who loved the country and the nation. 
  • The birth of many of King Dutugemunu's ten great giants is a good example of this.    
  • 1818 Uva Wellassa Rebellion broke out. 
  • They won the revolt against foreigners organized by the leaders of Keppetipola, Kohukumbura Raterala, Kivulegedara Mohottala and Butewe Raterala. 
  • For the first time they were able to stand up against the English.  
  •  Its ruins can still be seen in Uva Wellassa.

rathna ella       I am going to tell you about another beautiful place on Mahiyangana Road in Kandy. This is about the beautiful Ratna waterfall. This is located in the village of Rathna Ella in Hasalaka. This beautiful waterfall can also be seen on Mahiyangana Road in Kandy. In terms of height, this waterfall is ranked 10th in the list of tallest waterfalls in Sri Lanka.     We went to visit the Mahiyangana Temple on a Poya day. That day we came to see Rathna ella by chance. We had never been to that waterfall before. We had to walk a few kilometers from the road to reach Ratna ella. It is beautiful and it is very difficult to go there during the rainy season.    The tourism industry has not developed here. Also, this waterfall is not popular among the people of Sri Lanka. Therefore, the surrounding environment is not polluted.Due to time constraints, Rathna ella could not be approached. So if you come to see this we invite you to come in the morning....

  1.He wrote the multiplication of ninth intron of the disciples. 2. There he correctly mentioned the first nine.  3. We all know that the tenth multiple of nine is ninety.  4. But he incorrectly stated it as ninety one 5. When the disciples saw it, they all laughed at him.  6. He asked from his disciples, " When I have mentioned the first nine correctly, why didn't you greet me? Do you only know how to mock the last one when it is wrong? "         So are the people we meet in society. He says that no matter how good we do, there are plenty of people in this world who see the bad in it. So do not let too much criticism stop your journey. Because even if you do ten good things and you make a small mistake, the critics can knock you down with their words.
