Kebiliththa also known as Siyambalawa Devalaya and the devotees of God Katharagama visiting this place throughout the year for the blessings. According to the legendary, God Katharagama had met Valli Matha for the first time at this place and near the Maha Siyambalawa Tree (a big Tamarind tree). Devotees believe that God Katharagama resides and Meditates at Kebaliththa and if you are planning to visit this place we are highly advising to be a Vegetarian and must not consume alcohol at least seven days before you visit. Because of the mystical powers in this place if you are not obey to the above, you have to face for many difficulties on your visit such as an attack by an elephant.
However, the four routes to the Kebiliththa are placed along the Yala National Park, so it is difficult to visit this place by a normal vehicle. If you are travelling by a van you can go up to some area and you have to hire a tractor to visit to the place. Or else you can use four wheel drive (4 X 4) vehicle with winch, snatch belt, high lift jack and extra fuel etc.., and do not forget to take an experienced driver with motorized skills of four wheel drive. And there is no proper resting places, so you should have to take camping equipment and water to drink.
After visiting near the Kumbukkan Oya, devotees make some Milk Rice with using new pots with water of Kumbukkan Oya. First, they making seven small holes and big one hole near the Oya and using the water in the holes to prepare Milk Rice to offer to God Katharagama. They are preparing the Milk Rice by closing their mouth with a white colour cloth and wearing white colour dress because the Milk Rice should be so pure and fresh and also they are offering Pooja Watti (a big dish with fruits) to the God Katharagama. If you are make yourself with true faith and belief of God Katharagama, Kebiliththa is a beautiful sacred place to visit.
