This is a place you come across when climbing \u201cSri Pada\u201d mountain located near Hatton. This mountain in English is identifies as Adam\u2019s peak. Sri Pada is a holy place as it is believed that a footprint of the Lord Buddha is found on the top of the mountain. Millions of people venerate this place every year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The government takes the responsibility of maintaining this holy mountain and had declared it as a sacred venue where the climbers have to observe a code of conduct respecting this place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This is a good opportunity to write briefly on climbing this mountain. Due to changing<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">weather conditions, this peak is climbed only during the season. There are three routes designed to climb this holy mountain. One key route is from Rathnapura, from Palabaddala. On this route it is about a walk of ten miles to the summit of the mountain. The other route that begins from the Ratnapura side is from Kuruwita. The most popular route is Hatton, \u201cNallathani route\u201d which is only six and a half miles to the summit. The route via Palabaddala and the Hatton route merge at \u201cHaramitipana\u201d .<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The key places the climbers pass on the way to the summit identified as \u201cPadma\u201d are Seethagangula, Geththampana, Mahagiridamba and Ahas Gauwa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Now let us look into how the name, \u201cGeththampana\u201d emerged. The legend has is that, when the Lord Buddha arrived in Sri Lanka he wished to leave a gift for the people to remember his visit to Sri Lanka and looked for a suitable place to leave his foot print. It is said that he saw that this mountain top was the most suitable place. It is said that the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Buddha climbed to the summit through thick jungle with a team of people led by the leader of the province, Sumana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">On this hard journey through the thick jungle Lord Buddha\u2019s robe was torn. Relaxing on the way the Buddha has mended his torn robe himself. The Sinhala word for mending is \u201cgeththam\u201d. The place where the Buddha mended his robe became \u201cGeththampana\u201d. This place is also called \u201cIndikatupana\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em><strong>Nimal Sedera<\/strong><\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Dr. Nimal Sedera is a journalist, poet, motivational speaker and<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>an author of over 70 books.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/elanka-newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly\u00a0to\u00a0your\u00a0inbox!<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stories Behind Names of Places in Sri Lanka GETHTHAMPANA &#8211; By Nimal Sedera Image Source :\u00a0facebook Source :\u00a0D\u00e6h\u00e6na \u2013 January 2025 Today we discuss how the name \u201cGeththampana\u201d came into being. \u201cGeththampana\u201d is not a village but a very famous place for all the Buddhists in Sri Lanka.
