The Viharahinna archaeological site is a historical site located near Pibidunugama, Moragolla, on the border of Matale and Anuradhapura districts. Although there is little written information about this place, the information revealed by folklore is immense. One legend reveals that King Dutugemunu stayed at this place on his way to the Battle of Vijithapura. Another legend states that his mother, Viharamaha Devi, also stayed at this place and advised King Dutugemunu to go to the front line. Existing information also reveals that King Dutugemunu, who won the Battle of Vijithapura, built a Buddhist shrine at this place. The ruins that can be seen today show that this was a major monastery in ancient times. A cool environment full of Nagas can be seen around here. This place belongs to the Kandapalle Korala in North Matale and evidence of the ancient name of the temple has not yet been found.

Many of the ruins here have been preserved by the Department of Archaeology and the ancient monastery is still preserved in places. It can be seen from the ruins that there was a dagoba, a statue house and a bodhi tree here. The 11-foot-high standing Buddha statue has fallen to the ground today, the surrounding stone pillars indicate that there was a building around the statue and part of an Attani pillar inscription has also been found here. Evidence is found that this monastery, which flourished during the Anuradhapura period, was renovated during the Polonnaruwa period. According to the evidence from the ruins, it appears that this was a Pabbata Viharaya.

Also, an inscription is found here confirming that there were Dravidian influences in this area during the 12th -13th centuries AD.
