'Rathganga' is a hamlet in the hills above Galboda on the Rathnapura - Wewalwaththe road. The Buddhist temple and the surrounding village was developed by the Late Mr. Premadasa. It attracts a lot of pilgrims now. It is close to Sri Paada and the scenic beauty is superb. Very often the village is shrouded in mist adding to its enchantment.
