The building houses the Sri Lanka Amarapura Shasana Jothika Sangha Sabha Headquarters of the Udarata Amarapura Sect and the requirement for its construction was approved by the Commander of the Army after a request to that effect was forwarded to him by the Mahanayaka of Udarata Amarapura Maha Nikaya a few months back. The unveiling of a plaque and a subsequent 'Daham' meeting marked the
event.

Army troops continuously carried out this construction work in the 'Seemamalaka' premises of the temple and troops effectively brought it to the completion well ahead of the given deadline. The event was graced by chief monks of the Amarapura sector, members of the Maha
Sangha, Ministers, State Officials, Major General Tissa Nanayakkara, General Officer Commanding, 11 Division, 111 Brigade Commander, Senior Officers, Officers and a large crowd of devotees attended the opening ceremony.
