Swadeshi renovates Sri Dalada Maligawa

Swadeshi Industrial Works PLC, Kandana, renovated the Sri Dalada Maligawa and ancient murals of the historic Dambadeni Raja Maha Vihara as a CSR initiative of the company.

Swadeshi Industries has engaged in this endeavour under the supervision and direction by the Archaeology Department.

Modern high cost technology was used to restore the historic murals of this ancient place of worship and extensive repair work was done to the Sri Dalada Maligawa without damaging the original structure.

The historic Dambadeni Rajamaha Vihara is much respected as the place where the most respected cultural pageant of the country, Sri Dalada Perahera was first held.

King Parakramabahu the Second, who ruled from Dambadeniya built the Dambadeni Rajamaha Vihara.

The king conducted the Dalada Perahera to pay homage to the Sacred Tooth relic which was housed there for 13 years.

Illuminating places of worship of historic value is a CSR program conducted by Swadeshi Industries for over 15 years.
