Rivers

ニルワラ川෴නිල්වලා ගඟ
ニルワラはスリランカの南部州を流れる川です。シンハラジャ森林保護区に源を発し、マータラで海に流れ込みます。
ニルワラ川は、シンハラジャ丘陵の南岸にあるゴンガラ丘陵の流れに源を発しています。面積は約81kmです。この地域の水位は約960平方キロメートルです。これはガネガラ山脈の主な支流です。この川はアクレッサの町からニルワラ川に合流します。ニルワラ川からはマータラの美しい景色を眺めることができます。マータラから伸びる幹線道路から、マータラ - ウェリガマ道路を除く他のすべての道路は、どの時点でもニルワラ川を横断します。
シサラ、ピジョン、コキラのメッセージには、ニルワラ川について大きな愛情を込めて賛美の言葉が書かれています。ニルワラ トータは、カタラガマとデビヌワラの巡礼者にとって人気の目的地にもなりました。ニルワラ川と海との合流点は河口と呼ばれます。淡水と海水が融合した風景が印象的です。ここでは、漁師のプロとしての道具が常に見られます。
