- Note that articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
To demonstrate that this text is in the public domain, or is already under a license suitable for Wikipedia, click "Show".
Explain this on this article's discussion page, with reference to evidence. Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Compatibly licensed may assist in determining the status. Otherwise, you may write a new article without copyright-infringing material. Click "Show" to read where and how.
Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage.
- Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)

- It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.

It is said that, Prince Gamunu went to hide in Digamadulla after a dispute with his father, King Kavantissa. The dispute was the old king’s reluctance to fight with King Elara. After several years, King Kavantissa expired and Prince Tissa came to throne.
Prince Gamunu received this news and requested his brother to give him Tusker Kandula and Mother Queen which are essential to be the inheritance of the throne. Since, Prince Tissa rejected the request, Prince Gamunu left with no other option but to fight with his brother.
In earlier fights Tissa won against Gamunu as he was powerful due to his large royal army. Therefore, Gamunu had to be tricky to win the fight. In a fight at Yudaganawa, Prince Gamunu on his horse-back jumped across Tusker Kandula. The tusker feeling ashamed of the person who is handling him, threw Tissa down.
Thus, Prince Gamunu came to throne.
It is also said that King Dutugamunu started the war against Elara from this place.
Chulangani Viharaya
Chulangani Viharaya is situated just before the Yudaganawa stupa, a smaller stupa by the side of the road. This stupa which has been identified as the “ Chulangani Viharaya ” belongs to the 12th century AD. According to the Department of Archaeology of Sri Lanka, the Chulangani Viharaya comprises an image house, bodhigara, stupa and other monastic houses all traced back to the 12th Century, but the temple’s much weathered Buddha image is believed to belong to the 6th Century AD.
