Kurunegala Essentials

Kurunegala, Sri Lanka's ancient "Elephant Rock" capital, is defined by its dramatic granite outcrops and royal heritage. The city center is dominated by the 88-foot Ethugala Buddha statue, while the surrounding landscape features the legendary Dolukanda Aranya Senasanaya and the historic Nathagane ruins. From the bustling central market to the serene Sri Maliyadeva Arahantha Maha Viharaya, these sites represent the region's transition from a medieval kingdom to a vibrant commercial and spiritual hub.
