Significance: The hiding place of ancient Singhalese hero “Suura Saradiel”
The place is famously known as the hide out of Deekirikevage Saradiel alias Utuwankande Sura Saradiel. He was a gang leader and outlaw who rebelled against the British authorities during the colonial rule. He is a bandit who became a legendary figure in Sri Lanka also known as the “Robin Hood of Sri Lanka”. Some Sri Lankan scholars place him in the context of creating a regional insurgency against the British Colonial rule rather than a manifestation of local lawlessness or economic injustice.
