Legenda: Według folkloru Sri Lanki Yahangala to miejsce, w którym śpi wielki król Rawana, dopóki się nie obudzi. Uważa się również, że bóg „Galē Bandāra” chroni to miejsce. Jest to miejsce, które podróżni muszą przyjechać z dobrą intencją, ponieważ było wystarczająco dużo incydentów, że środowisko lub niektóre duchowe moce zostały ukarane podróżników, którzy przybyli ze złym zamiarem. (atak słonia, osa, wszelkiego rodzaju jadowite ukąszenia węża i zgubienie się). Dopóki kochasz florę i faunę i zostawiasz tylko odciski stóp, możesz iść.
