Take the road leading to Ethagala from Kurunegala town (see ethagala- elephant rock post). On the way to Buddha statue you will see some steps embedded in the rock on your left. These steps take you to a small, peaceful and less congested temple- Ibbagala Raja Maha Viharaya. If you proceed further without taking the steps you will come across the name board of the temple. By following this road you can reach the temple by a vehicle. The temple is well maintained and the view from the temple is fascinating. Part of an ancient painting can be seen on a roof of a cave temple. There is a foot print embedded in a stone stage around which many legends have woven. One story says a king of Kurunegala Kingdom constructed this to show his mother instead of Sri Pada (Adams peak) as she was very feeble to climb Sri Pada.
