The Aloka Vihara became Aluvihara. Folklore has many meanings to the name Aluvihara. One is that the Pali word Aloka was Alu (light) in ancient Sinhala and as it was the abode of Theras, it was a Viharaya. Hence the two words have been coined to make it Aluvihara.

The significance of Aluvihara is the writing of the Tripitaka in Pali (Buddhist scriptures – Vinaya Pitaka, Abhidhamma Pitaka and Sutra Pitaka). After the Buddha’s ‘Parinirvana’ (passing away), the Buddha Dhamma (Buddha’s preaching) was passed on from generation to generation, verbally (mukha paramparawa) by his pupils.
