Lower Mapitigama Siri Nandanarama Temple
Malwana Pahal Mapitigama Siri Nandanarama Viharasthan is a temple founded in 1892 in Dompe Divisional Secretariat Division of Gampaha District in Western Province.
At that time, Most Reverend Mapitigama Sugathapala was the head of this temple. After his demise, Dr. Pandita Pujyapada Kahahene Chandananda Nahimipha of Vidyodaya Pirivena became the Viharadhipati. He played an immeasurable contribution to the development of the temple and after his death in 1983, his student Dompe Samita Thero, followed by Dharmacharya Pujyapada Mapitigama Ananda Nahimi, took over the position of vihara.
He also completed the construction of the Bodhiprakara and the completion of a part of the King Chaitanya with the help of the local devotees. He passed away in the year 2010, who did great religious and religious service to the local people.
After that, his own student, Patasalacharya Master Venerable Pallegama Palitha Theropa became the temple head on June 11, 2010 and after his appointment, with the help of local donors, the half-completed Chaitya Rajajaffna was completed and a hall for the education of Dhamma school children was completed. , the construction of a village temple, and the construction of a part of the rampart with the battlements was carried out.
In the future, the remaining part of the wall of the temple is to be constructed, a spectacular Buddha statue is to be built in front of the temples at the Tumansala junction, and we hope to make desks and benches for the welfare of the Dhamma school children, to provide facilities for the Dhamma school children, and to get a multimedia machine for the development of the values and education of the Dhamma school children.
Also, to renew all the buildings of the temple, a lot of money is spent, and poor donors are not able to get it. I kindly invite all of you benefactors to help us to develop the temple as well as the Dhamma school and beautify the grounds. It would be great if you could help me by looking for more true information. Helping in this way is for the good of both worlds. God bless you!!!
