The mountain Dolukanda is located in the Kurunegala District, about 20 kilometers from the city of Kurunegala, near the Hiripitiya hamlet. It rises around 600 meters vertically from the flat plains. Its dimensions are around 2 kilometers long by 0.5 kilometers wide, with a forest reserve on top.

Folklore holds that the Rama-Rawana Legendary Battle served as the starting point for Dolukanda. Lord Rama and his brother Lakshman were both wounded by powerful arrows and knocked out during the battle between Ravana and Lord Rama. In order to preserve their lives, Lord Hanuman was charged with bringing them life-saving herbs from the Himalayas. Because he was unable to recognize the essential plants, he had to transplant a portion of the hill in Sri Lanka that he had previously brought back from India. It is stated that some of the hill's fragments fell on five Sri Lankan places when he was moving it; these areas are believed to be the cities of Dolukanda in the south, Rumasala in the north, Thalladi in Mannar, Ritigala in the east, and Kachchativu in the west. On the other hand, the top of Dolukanda is known as a herbal paradise since a variety of plant species with therapeutic potential may be found there.
