BUDURUWAGALA |
Wellassa is the name used locally for this area, which means hundred thousand paddy fields, and during the heydays of Sinhala Kings, when this area flourished it was covered with lush green paddy fields, which made Sri Lanka the grannary of the east! Cultivation is still the main occupation of the folks around here |
