加勒区
加勒是斯里兰卡的一个区,位于南部省。它是斯里兰卡25个区之一,是该国的第二级行政区划。该区由区秘书处管理,区秘书(以前被称为政府代理人)由斯里兰卡中央政府任命,负责领导该区的管理。
其面积为1,652平方公里(638平方英里):35平方公里(14平方英里)为水域,1,617平方公里(624平方英里)为陆地。加勒区北面与本塔拉河接壤,南面和西面与印度洋接壤,东面与马塔拉和拉特纳普尔区接壤。加勒区的地形变化多端。辛尼杜玛帕图瓦的气候与斯里兰卡的中央山区非常相似。该地区由雨林组成,是斯里兰卡大多数河流和湖泊的水源区,许多河流都流经< a title="Galle" href="/zh/pages/galle">加勒区。信哈拉贾森林保护区就是其中之一。加勒区位于温带气候区。
年降水量在2000至2500毫米之间。金河(“金冈加”)起源于辛尼杜玛帕图瓦的贡加拉山,在113公里(70英里)的漫长旅程中,它流经尼卢瓦、塔瓦拉马、纳戈达巴德格马和泰利卡达地区。这条河流养育着922平方公里(356平方英里)的土地。它最终流入位于< a title="Galle" href="/zh/pages/galle">加勒区金托塔地区的印度洋。马度冈加河从波拉特坎达起源,流经< a title="Balapitiya" href="/zh/pages/balapitiya">巴拉皮提亚并流入大海,帮助维持< a title="Galle" href="/zh/pages/galle">加勒区的生态平衡。
在古代斯里兰卡,作为南部省的首府,加勒区在对抗敌人的战斗中占据了重要地位。古代传说显示,在公元1072年,维贾亚巴胡王开始在辛尼杜玛帕图瓦的坦巴拉甘姆瓦与“索利”作战。根据传说,在丹巴德尼亚王朝的统治下,帕拉克拉马巴胡王在加勒区与女王苏伽拉展开了战斗。加勒在马哈·帕拉克拉马巴胡王朝的统治下是一个非常重要的地区,对荷兰、葡萄牙和英国建立他们的王国起到了重要作用。
加勒曾被称为“金哈提塔”。僧伽罗语的发音“加拉”来源于“加拉”(石头)一词。加拉意味着牛车汇聚的地方。后来,由于该地区有许多大石头和山丘,它被发音为“加拉”。
许多来自加勒区的人为僧伽罗文学做出了重要贡献。托塔甘穆瓦·维贾亚巴·皮里维纳(Thotagamuwa Vijayaba pirivena)是科特时代一所著名的教育机构,培养了许多著名的学者。希卡杜韦·斯里·苏曼加拉·特赫拉(Hikkaduwe Sri Sumangala Thera)、米盖图瓦特·古纳南达·特赫拉(Migettuwatte Gunananda Thera)、马丁·维克拉马辛赫(Martin Wickramasinghe)、南达达萨·科达戈达(Nandadasa Kodagoda)、埃德温·阿里亚达萨(Edwin Ariyadasa)、M.B.阿里亚帕拉(M.B. Ariyapala)、古纳达萨·阿马拉塞克拉(Gunadasa Amarasekera)、D.J.维马拉苏伦德拉(D.J. Wimalasurendra)、塞纳拉特·帕拉纳维塔纳(Senarath Paranavithana)、A.T.阿里亚拉特内(A.T. Ariyaratne)和阿里亚帕拉·古鲁南塞(Ariyapala Gurunnanse)是加勒的几位著名居民。
