The Pabalu Vihara is a small shrine that probably dates from the reign of Parakramabahu I. Pabalu means beads, as do the many glass beads found during its excavation. Marks attest to successive destructions, probably the result of invasions and treasure plunderers. The originality of this stupa is that it has 9 sanctuaries housing Buddha statues. The disparity between all these idols suggests that they were added over time. The stupa includes a flight of steps which allows to reach its first level.

De très jolies statues surtout celle du centre devant un stuppa en brique qui donne une idée de comment pouvait être le site à l'époque ancienne. Faites Le tour du site en vélo pour l'apprécier pleinement. De très belles pierres et vestiges. Magnifiques sculptures et colonne en forme de lotus.
