Madu Ganga

The Madu Ganga is a shallow water body in south-west Sri Lanka, which enters the sea at Balapitiya. The Buddhist Amarapura Nikaya sect had its first upasampada (higher ordination ceremony) on a fleet of boats anchored upon it in 1803. The Buddhist Kothduwa temple is situated on an isolated island in the lake. The inhabitants of its islets produce peeled cinnamon and cinnamon oil. The Maduganga Wetland was declared in 2003, in terms of the Ramsar Convention.
