For Foreigners - 99-Year Lease (USD 250,000) For Sri Lankans - Freehold Deed (Rupees 7.5 Crore) Padukka (Sinhala: පාදුක්ක, Tamil: பாதுக்கை) is a town in the district of Colombo in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. It has a population of roughly 8,000 and an elevation of 44 feet. Padukka, which is part of the Avissawella electorate, is situated 33 kilometers east of Colombo, the commercial capital of Sri Lanka, and on the bank of Pusweli Oya on high ground surrounded by marshland. History of Padukka The town of Padukka is thought to have been founded as a campsite by the forces of the Seethawaka Kingdom in the 16th century CE, on the banks of the Pusweli Oya (a major tributary of the Kelani Ganga river), at a location where the Arukwathu Oya stream joins the Pusweli Oya. It was a well-protected site with marshland and hills surrounding it. Legend says that the town got its name because it was under the "Naa" (Ironwood) Trees in the town that the Portuguese Army rested after being defeated by the Army of King Seethawa Rajasinghe in the battle at the adjoining Hanwella Fort. It was said that the defeated Portuguese army rested there until they settled their minds. Thus, in the Sinhala Language, it was called "Paha Dukka" ("paha" = vanish; "dukka" = sadness), which later became "Padukka" (පාදුක්ක). The famous "Naa" (Ironwood) Trees are still present at the town's rest house premises. Padukka has also played a significant role in other wars against Portuguese occupants as an integral part of the Hewagam Korale, which literally means the korale (an administrative division) that provided soldiers (hewa). According to historical data, Sinhalese soldiers confronted the retreating Portuguese army, chased them down at the current Galagedera junction, and inflicted heavy casualties upon the Portuguese contingent. Names of satellite villages bear testimony to the rich historical legacy of the Sithawake kingdom in the current Padukka area. Angampitiya, which is just 4 miles from the city center, is believed to be the place where the king observed the kind of martial art known as Angam Poraya. Kelimadala is believed to be the playground of Sithawake royalty. Bope was a thick jungle according to the book Kunsthanthinu Hatana (Konstantine's War) written by Alagiyawanna Mukaweti of "Subhashithaya" fame. Moreover, the area called "Legumbima," in the adjoining village, "Udumulla," had been a campsite of the Portuguese Army.
