  Our heritage..... අපේ උරුමය..... Wassamale - වස්සමලේ කීමට කණගාටුයි මේ වටිනා පුරා වස්තු ආරක්ෂා කිරීමට කිසිදු පියවරක් ගෙන නැත. කැළය පීරාගෙන වන සතුන් ගහන කැළයේ පැය 2 පමණ පීරා මේ ස්ථානය සොයා ගත්තේ. සියල්ල නිදන් හොරැන්ගේ ග්‍රහනයට හසු වී ඇති අයුරු දැක ගත හැකිය. Vasammale Mountain is located 573 Mihintale gramasewa division, Mihintale regional sectarian division, Anuradhapura district, North central province . The demonstrated place in this, Vasammale can be assumed as an archaeological site that historically connected to Mihintale. This advertence painting is located in a specific built environment in there. ​Wasammale is a rarely visited rock in the jungle just 2 km to the north of Mihintale's town centre. Remnants of Kandyan paintings can be found in a rock shelter close to the highest point of this rugged environment. Regrettably, the frescos were further damaged in recent years. At the foot of the outcrop are two ponds of different sizes at different levels. They never dry out. One of them is said to be have a long underwater tunnel. It's believed to be the place where Pandukabhaya, the later king who then chose Anuradhapura as the capital, was bathing as a child when his uncles, making an attempt on his life, killed all the boys from the nearby village of Doramadalawa (called Dwaramandalaka in the chronicle), when they were bathing in this pond.
