Ambalama information


Ambalama from Panavitiya dating to 1700s or before

An ambalama (Sinhala: අම්බලම) is a place constructed for pilgrims, traders and travellers to rest in Sri Lanka. This is a simple structure designed to provide shelter for the travellers.[1] The last examples of anbalange remained until about the end of the 1970s. There were no charges involved in using an Ambalama.[2]
