The history of Thambuttegama, a village in Sri Lanka, is marked by significant developments over the centuries. Initially, people abandoned this area due to food shortages and droughts, but the expansion of a local tank transformed it into a prosperous village, eventually named Maha Gama. During King Walagamba’s reign, the region was known for its many temples, though most were later destroyed, with Nallachchiya Rajamaha Vihara being a notable exception. The construction of a railway line further evolved Thambuttegama into a town, leading to the establishment of critical facilities like Gamini Maha Vidyalaya, a dispensary, a PDW Bungalow, and a railway station, thereby enhancing its significance and resources.
