කතරගම|අන්දරේගේ සොහොන|වීරවිල air force|Kataragama|Andare's grave|Hewker siddeley HS 748 AVRO|family
My video consists about Kataragama, Kiri wehera, Thissa wewa, Andare's grave and also Hewker siddeley HS 748 series aircraft (AVRO) in Weeravila air force. Read and nourish your knowledge.
Kataragama:
Kataragama is a pilgrimage place situated in Uva province, Sri Lanka.
The pre-Christian era is where Kataragama's history began, and both Buddhist and Hindu literature have mentioned this location in various ways.
Popular mythology has it that Elara, the Indian invader who conquered the city of Anuradhapura at the time, dispatched the spy Kadira to the southern region of Rohana to spy on the Sinhalese Monarchs. He settled at Kataragama and brought Thevani, his Indian bride, with him. Afterwards, he fell in love with Valli, a stunning 16-year-old local, and got married to her with the former wife's approval. Kadira, a brilliant spy, rose to prominence in Kataragama after King Dutugamunu ultimately overcame the Elara.
He offered special assistance to the Sinhalese who welcomed him as a benefactor. Because of how well regarded he was, the Sinhalese people made him a deity after his passing and constructed a shrine (devale) in his honor. Before becoming Kataragama Deviyo, Kadira was referred to as the Kadira Deviyo. Yet, the Tamil population of Kataragama never acknowledged him as a god and shunned him.
According to reports, Kadira ran six spy rings that were further divided into 12 units. These were the groups that later evolved into the Kataragama Deviyo's six heads and twelve arms.
It is said that the current Kataragama Devale was constructed by King Dutuganumu after he vanquished the Tamil invader Elara.
Katragama One of the key occasions on the Kataragama Calendar is the Esala Maha Perahera. The Esala Full Moon Poya Day, which falls between July and August, is when this ritualistic possession takes place. Both the manner in which it is held and the possession itself make this Perahera special.
Kiri wehera:
According to the Buddhists, Kiri Wehera is one of the 16 places visited by Buddha (solos maha stana) during his 3 visits to Sri Lanka.
'Kiri wehera' name came from 'Kihiri wehera' because this wehera had built in Kihiri forest in past.

Andare's grave:
Andare was a witty court jester during the reigns of Kings Kirthi Sri Rajasinhe and Rajadhi Rajasinhe of the Kandyan Kingdom. The tale of Andare is among Sri Lanka's most well-known folktales.
He is thought to have been born in the Matara district's Devinuwara. He was the second child of Palawinnage Palliyaguru, a renowned linguist and Dutch-appointed teacher at the Church of Devinuwara.
Folklore has it that Andare passed away from thirst in Udamalala village while visiting his hometown. According to legend, after learning of the passing of his beloved court jester, the king went straight to the scene of the crime. Upon seeing the body with all its limbs spread out, the king reportedly smiled and said, Dear Andare, you are making me laugh even after your death.
Where Andare is thought to have died has a memorial, a tomb, and a sculpture depicting his death with his arms outstretched.
Hewker siddeley HS 748 series aircraft (AVRO) in Weerawila air force :

ABOUT ME & MY CHANNEL
50+ years. That's how long I've been around, looking for that one thing to bring a sense of calm. I'm Nishan, and starting this channel I realised experiences & travel is what energises me! Until recently I lived solely for work. A recent fight with severe stress made me see I want to spend my life experiencing what is around me and sharing with others, providing a spark for others to experience this place we live in!
At 53 years in 2022, I've been to many places and tried many things, but I see that I've allowed the experiences fade in my mind. I want to re-experience and experience newly traveling around the world, eating, mixing locally as much as I can. I want to experience; whether that be swimming, scuba, trekking or anything else????
I'm sharing my experiences and tips for all of you who watch my channel and take part in my journey, in the hope I can inspire you to explore, experience & push your boundaries.

Top Sri Lankan Travel Destinations | Don't Miss Sella Kataragama!
The history of Sella Kataragama goes back to pre Christian era and both Buddhist and Hindu literature have identified this place in various ways. According to chronicles some of the people who accompanied Vijaya from India in 543 BC established a village called Kajara-Gama which is thought to be current Kataragama. Sella Kataragama is a small town lying on the banks of Menik Ganga about 4 kilometers north -west of Kataragama which has been weaved in to the legends of deity Kataragama ( Skanda Kumaraya) as much as Kataragama itself. According to Hindu beliefs god Skanda is also known as Murugan, Arumugam, Kandasami (Skanda Swami), Subrahmanya, etc. Many legends describes the birth of this deity and according to Hindu legends God Skanda came to Sri Lanka after a row with his wife Thevani and landed in the southern part of the island. He made Wedihiti Kanda near Kataragama his adobe. One day he saw a beautiful 16 year old local girl called Valli who was adapted by the veddha chieftain of the tribe who lived in the area.
Skanda unable to win her love consulted his brother god Ganesh to help him. Finding out that Valli feared elephants, a plan was devised for Ganesh to appear as a Elephant and Skanda to come to her rescue. Before turning in to the elephant, Ganesh gave a pot of water to Skanda and asked him to pore the water on to him after the planed attack so he would turn back to the Human form. When Skanda approached Valli in form of a old man at Sella Kataragama, she was chocking on some food and in the eagerness to help her, he dropped all the water. At the same time Ganesh appears in form of a elephant and scares her. Skanda offered her to help with the condition of marring him. Valli having no choice consents to marry him and then he appear in his true form. But unfortunate Ganesh, has to stay with a elephant head since Skanda has dropped the water. And later it is believed that the newly wedded couple lived at Sella Kataragama.
Present Sella Kataragama

කතරගම | Kataragama on a Sunny Day | Sri Lanka Travel
Kataragama (Sinhala: කතරගම, romanized: Kataragama, Tamil: கதிர்காமம், romanized: Katirkrāmam) is a pilgrimage town sacred to Hindu, Buddhist and indigenous Vedda people of Sri Lanka. People from South India also go there to worship. The town has the Kataragama temple, a shrine dedicated to Skanda Kumara also known as Kataragama deviyo. Kataragama is located in the Monaragala District of Uva province, Sri Lanka. It is 228 km (142 mi) from Colombo Sri Lanka. Although Kataragama was a small village in medieval times, today it is a fast-developing township surrounded by jungle in the southeastern region of Sri Lanka
The ancient Kiri Vehera Buddhist stupa, which is believed to have been built by the regional king Mahasena in the 3rd century BCE is also a major attraction in the Kataragama area. The town has a venerable history dating back to the last centuries BCE. It was the seat of government of many Sinhalese kings during the days of the Rohana kingdom. Since the 1950s the town has undergone many improvements with successive governments investing in public transportation, medical facilities, and business development & hotel services. It adjoins the popular Yala National Park
The first reference to this village by this name is in the 6th century AD Pali chronicle Mahavamsa, referring to the place as Kājaragāma. It is mentioned in Mahavamsa that the nobles of Kajaragama were among those took part in the festival of the Bodhi Tree when it was brought over by Sangamitta Theri. Some scholars derive Kataragama from Karthikeya Grama, literally meaning Village of Kartikeya, which was shortened in Pali as Kājaragāma and later evolved to Kataragama. However, not all scholars accept this explanation.
The literal Sinhalese meaning of Kataragama is the village in the desert, due to its location in a dry area, stemmed from the words Katara meaning Desert & gama meaning village. According to a folk etymology, the Tamil name Kathirkāmam is said to be evolved from the combination of two words Kathir (meaning glory of light) and kāmam is driver from kamam (farming). In ancient times the deforested new land Tamils thrived in was called kamam(கமம்) which means farming in Tamil . Later on the word kamam evolved in to kaamam. That’s why even today most places in Sri Lanka has the suffix Kaamam. Gama in Sinhala is derived from the word grama in sanskrit.
The aboriginal Vedda community used to refer to this deity as O' Vedda or Oya Vedda, meaning river hunter. The Sri Lankan Moors visiting this place pay homage to a Muslim saint known as al-Khidir, who according to them gave his name to the Islamic shrine at this place, and therefore attributing to the place etymology
