The Hanguranketha Ambalama is an old wayside rest situated near Hanguranketha Pothgul Viharaya in Nuwara Eliya District, Sri Lanka.
History
The structure
There is a granite Pinthaliya (a water vessel for the use of people) in front of the Ambalama. A note carved on it reveals that it was donated on 11 September 1905 by a person named Salu Abhaya Gunasekara Lekam (Dasanayaka, 2018).
