King Dutugamunu, during his 1st war in the North, along his journey from Magama to North this is is the first place where he lodged with his army squad. King Mahanaga established the Magama Kingdom and constructed the Chulangani Vihara complex. According to the constructions, i.e. dagaba, bodhi vihara , rest rooms and the hermitages of the Bhikkuhs, it appears that this Chulangani complex could be compared to a pancha vihara. This is one of the biggest chithyas in Sri Lanka, the perimeter of this Chithya is 1038 feet. This Dagaba is still being maintained. An inscription done by the King Keerthi Shri Nissanka is situated and still kept under protection.
