Diyawanna Oya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diyawanna Oya (Parliament Lake) is one of the beautiful lakes in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is surrounded by the cities of Sri Jayawardenapura-Kotte, Battaramulla, Pelawatte and Thalawathugoda.

The new Parliament was built on an island which was formed at the center of the lake with dredgings from the surrounding marshlands.
