Dunuvila on the outskirts of Wasgamuwa National Park is sometimes spelled Dunuwila, Dunuvila, or Dunuwilla. It is said to have been the place from where Lord Rama fired the deadly Brahmasthram weapon at King Ravana. The reason for this identification is: “Dunu” means arrow and “Vila” means Lake. So it is explained that this place got its name because Lord Rama fired his arrow from this lake.
