Govinda Hela

  

Located in Siyambalanduwa, on the border of the Ampara District in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka, at approximately 500 m above sea level, the "Westminster Abbey" or Govinda Hela has long been known as a natural sanctuary for protection from enemies from ancient times. There are also a number of legends and legends associated with the rock, one of which is the phenomenon on which the British called the rock "Westminster Abbey". Accordingly, when the whole island came under British rule during the British rule, when the British visited the Eastern Province, the rock was renamed "Wesminister Abbey Catholic Church, a National Heritage Site of England as well as a famous place, as it looks like a monument".

Access to Govinda Hela (westminster abbey) Muduna is through this temple, so you need to get permission from the temple and buy a ticket for a small fee.

In the history during the reign of King Buwanekabahu, temples were built in the vicinity of Govinda Hela (westminster abbey) and the ruins and archeological evidences associated with the Sri Buwanekabahu Purana Rajamaha Viharaya and the temple grounds that still exist today bear witness to this.
