Review
It's believed that Buddha has visited Muthiyangana back in the 5th century BC, on his great's third visit to Sri Lanka.
Nobody forgets to worship Muthiyangana if they visit reach Badulla town. Muthiyangana is considered as one of the "Solosmasthana" (16 sacred places) temples.
The stupa enshrines Lord Buddha's hair and mukthaka dathu ( His sweat turned in to pearls) for thousands of years and in Poya days Muthiyangana temple is pleasantly crowded as in the picture.
Historical importance

It is believed that the Lord Buddha had visited the above places during his 3rd arrval to sri lanka with the company of 500 enlighten monks.
