There is a mountain of Sri Lanka called Striee Pura is situated at kirawanagama,Uva-Paranagama electorate of Badulla district. This mountain is very ancient one because 10th or 11th century there was a king called Walagamba prepared long tunnels for secret things. And also king ManaBharana is created beautiful stone buckets to queens and following pictures shows about more. Today also we can see or we can through there. When we though this or when we travel Lunuwattha place we can face Mana waterfalls. It is 67 feet high.

There is paddy field called Manawela is situated near Mana Striee Pura mountain. In ancient time it was big paddy field although now farmers cultivate in small area. Water come to Mana water fall from Hal Oya .We can identify from a inscription, stone of there about people had been using this fields lot all the king eras. There is a place at Mana waterfalls which was used for bath by queens. There were stone potties on there. Today also we can see it. The water of Mana waterfall is falling to those potties. There are little holes on the rocks of Mana waterfall. Queens might came there toughing the tunnel of Striee Pura. When the queens bath the King sit on the Thrown and visited it. After 1990 the Thrown was broken by provenance thieves.
