DEEGAWAPI TEMPLE.

Deegawapi temple is located in the Ampara district of the Eastern province. It is a place of worship of historical value. It was made by king Saddatissa. Therefore it is an important temple that has been in existence since ancient times.

Legend has it that the buddha visited this place. Tourists also visit this place which is of  archeogical value. This dagoba was built at the place where the buddha meditated. The temple is currently undergoing maintenance and has been subjected to some adverse effects the recent past. 

In addition to the old Deegawapi temple, a new temple was also built. It consists of several accompanying dagabas. It also an area frequented by wild elephants. So we left before dusk. Devotional song programs and Vesak lantern exhibitions are held every Vesak and Poson month based on this temple.

I'm so glad to be able to see such a valuable place. They must also be preserved for future generation to see. Even who we went there the people who came to see it had littered and polluted it we removed it and cleaned it place. By going there one was able to worship at the temple and collect merits.
