Etymology
According to the legends Udugampola had been the kingdom of a provincial king called "Sakalakala Wallabha". His son tried to kill his father by planting pointed wood hidden under the water where the king used to bathe. But before jumping onto the points the king observed small flying insects landing on the water surface. Upon further scrutiny the king found the insects were landing on the points. Understanding the situation the king ordered the killing of his son. But the son escaped and vanished to Sri Padha area and later committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. It is believed that he became a supernatural called "Kalu Kumaraya".
