}}Mahawa (also known as Maho) ({{lang-si|මහව}}) is a town in the North Western Province of Sri Lanka. British used the word "Maho" as the name for this town because they were unable to pronounce "Mahawa" properly. It is located in the Kurunegala District. Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus and Christians live in this town.
