Significance: Ancient Lankan hero “Suura Saradiel” ‘s Village

Saradiel Village is located close to the predominant Moorish city in Sabaragamuwa called Mawanella. Named after a native who fiercely fought against the ruthless British colonialism, Saradiel Village reminds you of the spirit of anti-colonialism prevailed in these parts of the world. Commonly considered ‘Sri Lankan Robin Hood’ Saradiel is historically known as Uthuwan Kande Soorya Saradiel for his countless engagements with the British.
