Batatotalena Cave
The Batatotalena (Batatota Cave), also known as the Diva Guhava (Day Cave) in Buddhist literature, is a cave system in Sudagala, 8 km away from the town of Kuruwita, in the Sabaragamuwa Province of Sri Lanka. The cave measures approximately 15 m high, 18 m wide, and 25 m in length, totalling the internal cave area to 6800 m3. Accessing the cave involves a 400 m hike from Sudagala, and an additional 50 m climb to reach the cave entrance. Approximately 30 m from the cave is another partially submerged cave, which is accessible after a 20 m swim. In Buddhism, it is believed to be the cave in which the Buddha spent the day after placing his footprint on Adam's Peak, from where he supposedly proceeded to Dighavapi.
