Lewella (the name means "blood sand"[1]) is a village and northeastern suburb of Kandy, in Central Province, Sri Lanka. It contains the Buddhist Lewella Meditation Centre,[2] and a centre for the Jesuits.[3] The Mahaveli River flows on the eastern side; a small bridge along Sirimalwatta Road, known as Lewella Suspension Bridge,[4] leads across the river to the east.
