Lewella
Lewella is a village and northeastern suburb of Kandy, in Central Province, Sri Lanka. It contains the Buddhist Lewella Meditation Centre, as well as a centre for the Jesuits. The Mahaveli River flows on the eastern side, with a small bridge along Sirimalwatta Road, known as Lewella Suspension Bridge, leading across the river to the east.
Lewella can also be seen spelled as "Le Wella," meaning "bloody beach" due to a massacre in the area from the first major British invasion in the 1800s.
