::The most popularly known story is that the Kovil was built by the King Rajasingha of Seethawaka, who killed his predecessor and father, King Mayadunne in 1587 by poisoning and took over the kingdom. After killing his father King Rajasingha suffered from guilt, but never found any solace in having followed Buddhism. While trying to run away from his own dark deeds, he turned to a Hindu priest named Aritta Kiwendu Perumal, who advised the King to build a Kovil dedicated to the demon goddess Bhadrakali or Lord Shiva and wash away his sins. The advice was well received and the King built the Kovil though it is not clear to whom it was dedicated.
