Waterfalls

   Bopath Ella Waterfall

Bopath Ella Waterfall is also situated in Rathnapura district in Sri Lanka. This is also very very beautiful place. It has a shape very similar to the leaf of the Sacred fig or "Bo" tree. According to the legend of Bopath Ella, there should be a great treasure hidden under the waterfall. If need to get through this treasure, it must murder 1000 people ritually (Oops).






But I can recommend this place as good place to visit and stay calm. There are so many foreign tourist coming here to visit and take photograph as memorandum.

Stories and myths


The waterfall has been used for bathing by ancient rulers of the country when they visited the nearby Maha Saman Devale in Ratnapura. It is also believed that the deity Saman has appeared here.


There are several myths associated with Bopath Ella. One such belief is that a local village girl jumped into the waterfall and killed herself when her lover abandoned her. He was reputedly a pilgrim from Colombo who failed to return to the pregnant girl. The girl's ghost is said to haunt the waterfall, and appears as a blue light. Another popular belief among the locals is that there is an ancient treasure trove hidden in the waterfall, and that one thousand human sacrifices are required to get it. "
