}}Uththara Jayamaha Vihara ({{lang-si|උත්තර ජයමහා විහාරය}}) is an ancient Buddhist temple in Hingurana, Sri Lanka. The temple has been formally recognised by the Government as an archaeological site in Sri Lanka. The designation was declared on 26 December 2014 under the government Gazette number 1895.[1]

The temple

The temple at Hingurana which lies behind the Gal Oya Plantations Sugar factory is located about {{convert|1|km|mi|abbr=on}} distance from the Hingurana Roundabout. It is believed that the history of Uttara Jayamaha Vihara is dated back to the reign of King Saddha Tissa (137 BC – 119 BC).[2] The modern temple complex stand today is said to be built upon the ancient temple belonging to the old Digamadulla Kingdom.[3] Due to the recent modernisation works, the antiquity of the temple has been almost diminished. Among the ancient structures, stone Korawak Gala, rock inscriptions, drip ledged caves, parts of pillars and other artifacts can be identified.

Inscriptions

An early Brahmi inscription has been identified on the rock ceiling of the temple image house. The inscription was copied in 1971 by the Department of Archaeology.[4]
