Kandy Lake, also called Kiri Muhuda, is an artificial lake in the centre of Kandy, Sri Lanka. It was constructed in 1807 by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe next to the Temple of the Tooth. The lake includes a small island, which was used as a royal summer house and later by the British. A decorative wall known as Walakulu Bamma runs along part of the lake’s perimeter. The lake is surrounded by various religious and historical sites.
