This village is refreshingly beautiful Meemure, nestling at the foothills of the Lakegala Peak of the Dumbara range of hills. According to legend the two princesses committed suicide on hearing of the King’s capture and the royal jewellery which they wore is said to be in the possession of traditional families in the village.
Another legend says that Meemure belonged to a veddah named ‘Benduruwa’ which was taken away from him by King Vimaladharma and handed over to Herath Hamy whose descendants are believed to be still living in the village.
