Kengalla Ambalama
Historical place
👍👍 A historical structure built by a south Indian businessman belonging to the Nayakkar dynasty in early 1900. The place is a resting place for travellers on the adjacent road.
Now, the place stays without much attention in the heart of the Kengalla town and is being ignored most of the times.
