The temple was originally founded in King Devanampiyatissa's reign in the 3rd Century. According to the history, this is the historic place where the Pāli Canon (we call this Tripitaka in Sinhalese which is a collection of scriptures in Theravada Buddhism) was first written in completely as a text. Palm leaves were used to write this.
There was a very difficult time for Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka which was known as a famine (Baminithiyasaya) for over twelve years. During this unfortunate era, they had to rely on roots and leaves of trees for their hunger as they didn't receive enough alms. Some of the monks went to India and about 60 monks went to the hill country for their survival.
After the famine came to an end, the monks have returned to Anuradhapura and decided to transcribe the Tripiṭaka for the preservations and for the future generations. They selected Aluvihare Rock temple in Matale as it was the most secured place to perform this sacred task after the difficult time. About 500 scholarly monks were involved in this task.
Unfortunately, in 1848, during Matale Rebellion, the old library of the temple was totally destroyed including many transcribed manuscripts.
Today, you can still witness the consequences of the damages that has happened and it took a long time to recover the mentioned damages.

The Aluvihare Rock Temple (also called Matale Alu Viharaya) is a sacred Buddhist temple located in Aluvihare, Matale District of Sri Lanka. Surrounded by hills, the Aluvihara cave temple is situated 30 km north of Kandy on the Matale-Dambulla road. The history of Aluvihare Rock Temple is traced back to the 3rd Century B.C to the reign of King Devanampiyatissa. It is believed that the King built the stupa, planted the Bo sapling and founded the temple after the introduction of Buddhism to the country during his reign.
Aluvihare Rock Temple was the historic location where the Pāli Canon was first written down completely in text on Ola (palm) leaves. Many monastery caves, some of which exhibit frescoes are situated near this temple
In between the 100 - 89 Century BC, during the reign of King Walagamba, Sri Lanka underwent a famine known as 'Baminithiyasaya' for 12 years. There was also a South Indian invasion at the same time and the Buddhist monks of that era realized that these problems would be a danger to the existence of Buddha Sasana in the country. Under these conditions, memorizing and repeating the Dhamma (doctrine) was difficult. Due to the famine Buddhist monks did not receive sufficient alms and faced many difficulties, and they had to eat yams, roots and leaves of trees for their survival. A group of about 60 of them went to Malaya Rata, which is said to be the hilly area of the country. They managed to live on the banks of Mahaweli river under harsh conditions and survived for 12 years till the famine came to an end. King Walagamba who was overthrown by a rebellion during the invasion from South India regained the throne by defeating the invaders after fourteen years.
The monks who left to India and to the hilly areas of Sri Lanka, during the difficult period, returned to Anuradhapura, and decided to transcribe the Tripiṭaka (philosophical doctrines of Buddhism) for the preservation and for the use of future generations. The monks selected Aluvihare Rock temple in Matale as the most suitable and secured place to carry out this important event. This transcription was carried out due to the fear that the doctrine would be lost during the upheaval caused by repeated South Indian invasions. It is said that 500 scholarly monks congregated at Aluvihare Rock temple to perform the difficult task of first reciting the doctrines and agreeing on an acceptable version before transcription. The entire transcription was done in books made of Ola leaves, locally known as puskola poth. These books were made up from thick strips created from the leaves of either the palmyra or talipot palm and the doctrines were written down in Pali language. A metal stylus was used to inscribe the characters on the Ola leaves.
The old library atof Aluvihare Rock Temple, which had safely housed the volumes of these transcribed manuscripts for so many centuries, was totally destroyed during the Matale Rebellion in 1848. Many parts of the temple complex were destroyed too by this incident. The consequences of this disaster are still evident today at the temple premises. It took a long a time for the recompilation, as few generations of monks had to transcribe the Tripiṭaka again. The recompilation and transcription took a long time as only few monks were engaged in this painstaking task, and the first of the three “baskets of the law” was only completed in 1982.
Aluvihare Rock temple has many caves with ancient inscriptions. These caves enclose comparatively modern wall and ceiling paintings of interest, and impressive statues and images of Lord Buddha. The main cave of these has a large reclining statue of the Buddha, together with standing and seated images. In the entrance-way of another cave with a reclining statue of the Buddha there are terrifying depictions of the hellish afterlife that awaits people who commits sins. One cave is dedicated to the revered Indian monk-scholar Buddhagosa who is regarded as the greatest exponent and interpreter of the Pali canonical scriptures. He resided at Anuradhapura during the 4th and 5th centuries and is supposed to have spent several years at the Matale Alu Viharaya to engage in his scholarly work.
Embilla Historical Cave Temple |Matale| Sri Lanka ????????
Hello wellcome to Pandama Vlogs...
To day we are comming to “EMBILLA HISTORICAL CAVE TEMPLE “...
This temple is located in Hulangamuwa village in Matale district of Sri Lanka. The temple was built by King Walagamba and it is under the custody of Venerable Gansarapa Chandraratne Thero.
The temple of Ambilla Raja Maha Viharaya has paintings of the Anuradhapura, Dambadeni, Kandy and Kurunegala periods. So we can say that this temple was renovated on several occasions.
In addition to the Buddha Pratheema of the Vihara, there are statues of the three gods Vishnu, Saman and Vibeshana.
The temple was destroyed by the treasure hunters from 1991-1994 and the temple is being reconstructed under the Central Culture Fund.
But the temple is still being built and it costs a lot of money so if there is a person watching this video it will help.
For this purpose, I will give the telephone number of the Chief Incumbent of the temple, Venerable Gansarapa Chandraratne Thero.
Nayaka Tero’s contact no:- 077 510 5005
