කන්දක් උඩ තිබෙන පංසලක් වන අතර ,පොහොය දිනයන්හි අදික බැතිමතුන් පිරිසක් වන්ඳනා මානකරයි
It's believed that Paramakanda temple was constructed by King Walagamba in 89 - 77 BC. According to the rock inscription at Thonigala , this temple was built by a priest named Mahatissa Thero, during the reign of
King Walagamba .
The Vihara complex mainly consists of two compounds. At the ground level, the temple has a large number of cave and shrine rooms under the overhanging rock.
Both Kandyan era paintings and modern paintings can be seen in the clay made image house. New Paintings were painted over old paintings, but due to the new layer crumbling off, the old paintings have re-emerged. Other images and statues in the mansion show features of the Kandyan era.
