Kalutara District, Administrative district in Western Province, Sri Lanka
Kalutara District spans 1,598 square kilometers along the southwestern coast of Sri Lanka, bordered by Colombo District, Ratnapura District, and Galle District.
The district evolved from a significant spice trading center during the 11th century when a South Indian prince established Kalutara as a capital.
The population of 1,217,260 residents includes a majority of Sinhalese people, alongside Sri Lankan Moor and Tamil communities following Buddhist, Muslim, and Hindu traditions.
The district contains 14 Divisional Secretary Divisions and 762 Grama Niladhari Divisions, managed by a District Secretariat appointed by the Sri Lankan government.
The Kalu Ganga, one of Sri Lanka's four main rivers, flows through the district and meets the Indian Ocean at the city center.
