Description : The smallest islet in Madu Ganga Lake is called “Satha Paha Doowa”. “Paha” translates to “five”, whereas “Satha” means “cent”. According to local tradition, the islet had once been purchased for five cents. But others say, it got its name due to the shape or small size which resembles just a small coin. Nontheless Fice-Cent-Island is big enough to carry a temple. The shrine is dedicated to Kataragama, a deity revered by Sinhalese Buddhists and Tamil Hindus and Weddah animists alike. In a way, it’s a Devale, a Buddhist shrine for a Hindu deity. Sri Lanka.
