Badulla Kataragama Devalaya, Buddhist temple in Badulla, Sri Lanka.
The temple features traditional Kandyan architecture with carved timber columns supporting the roof and detailed paintings adorning the outer walls.
Portuguese forces under General Constantino de Sa damaged the original temple structures in 1630 during their invasion of Badulla territory.
The devalaya contains specific areas including a shrine room, kitchen, chamber of throne, and priest quarters following Buddhist architectural traditions.
The temple stands behind the main post office in Badulla and visitors can access it through Devala Veediya street.
The chamber of throne, used by kings to observe processions, displays wood carvings similar to those at Embekka Devalaya.
