This historic site belongs to the period of the Gampola kingdom and was built by King Buwaneka Bahu IV who ruled the Gampola kingdom. It is the archaeological idea that this temple has been designed in a kovil format, which can be seen by anyone who is closely observing the temple.

Although the temple can be seen in only three story, it is said to consist of seven story. Another remarkable feature is that the roof is entirely made from the bricks and Later for the protection they have add the tile roof.

An Esala Perahera which has continued uninterrupted from the days of the King to the present can be seen in this sacred place. It begins fifteen days after the Dalada Maligawa Perahera concludes, and lasts for 15 days. The grand procession will hit the streets in early September. It also ends with a ritual watering.
