🍃 KAUDULLA WEWA🍃


Kaudulla is a reservoir, an irrigation wonder of the 3rd century with a capacity of 64 million cubic meters, which was constructed by King Mahasen. It has two natural water reservoirs, such as Gal Oya and Aluth Oya. Kaudulla Wewa is a 9235m long embankment (bund), is one of the longest in this country, and has a height of 15m and width of


120m. Kaudulla is also identified as the “Thissawaddamana Vapi” and “Ranthisa Wewa.” King Vijayabahu and King Parakramabahu did renovation work and even built a bund across Kaudulu Oya. These details are stated in the historical records of Sri Lanka. It receives water along the Elahera-Kantale Giant Canal, which begins from Elahera Anicut on Amban Ganga, built by King Vasabha.🏞️🛶🛶





 🐒This vast reservoir is surrounded by the attractive Kaudulla National Park, an important bird area of the nation.🦆🐘



🍃Historically Kaudulla was one of the 16 irrigation tanks built by King Mahasen. Following a period of abandonment it was reconstructed in 1959. It now attracts and supports a variety of plant and animal life, including large mammals, fish and reptiles.🐬🐬🐊🐠



Kaudulla Lake is located off the main roads of Sri Lanka and attracts very little attention except for the Kaudulla National Park which surrounds the reservoir.🍃🍃




  Kaudulla Wewa and Minneriya Wewa are also deeply rooted in folklore and folklore.  One legend has it that after the death of King Mahasense, when famine and disease plagued the country during times of drought and crop failure, the people of Minneriya turned to their great leader, who claimed to have supernatural powers to do such things.  They also offered him a great role, asking God to protect them🤝🤝


So this Kaudulu Wewa can be identified as one of the most visited lakes in my area by the tourists.🏖️️🚣
