The story of the Rideevihara goes up to the 2nd Century BC. During the time of King Dutugemunu he was involved in constructing the great Stupa Ruwanweliseya and this huge task and the cost threatened to drain country’s resources. The King was deeply troubled and during this time an enormous quantity of silver was discovered from a cave where the Ridheevihara now stands. In 18th century King Keerthi Sri Rajasinghe restored this temple to present state.
A smooth trek to a panoramic view along the temple premises 30-45 minutes.
