Katharagama is belongs to the “God Katharagama” and situated
Monaragala District of Uva Province in Sri Lanka. It attracts huge number of
Local tourist as well as Foreign tourists throughout the year, especially in
Long Holidays and School Vacations in Sri Lanka.
According to the legendary, “King Dutugamunu” requested for
help from God Katharagama to the victory from the war which had with the King
Elara. After the King Dutugamunu wins he offered the Katharagama Dewalaya
premises to the God Katharagama as God Katharagama’s request which I mentioned
in my previous report of “Wedihiti Kanda”.
The Annual Festival of Katharagama Dewala (Katharagama
Perahera) is held in August every year and its ends up with Gini Pagima (Fire
walking ceremony). In Sri Lanka all the pilgrims
who are visiting the Katharagama Dewalaya are taking a Pooja Watti (A large
Dish with fruits) to offer to God Katharagama. And we can make the God
Katharagama happy by dancing the Kavadi Dance which lot of Pilgrims who dance
in front of the Katharagama Dewala.
