His cult is institutionally centered at the Aluthnuwara Sri Dadimunda Devale and other regional devalayas.
Gamarala
No information about a village guardian spirit named Gamarala is present in the supplied source. The single available source concerns an unrelated Sri Lankan cricketer and contains no material on this entity.
Kalladi
Kalladi is primarily attested in the provided documentary record as a social and geographic name (a sub‑caste in Kerala and place‑names in Sri Lanka), not as a clearly documented supernatural entity in Tamil folk belief. A single blog source mentions a related place‑linked spirit name 'Kalladikode Neeli', but the supplied official and archival sources do not describe a distinct folkloric being called 'Kalladi'.
Kalu Kumara
Kalu Kumara (literally given in the prompt as “Black Young Man” spirit) is an entity named by the user as part of Sri Lankan tradition. The supplied source excerpts in the research packet do not contain descriptions, origin stories, rituals, or other substantive information about this named spirit.
Kassapa (name-group: Buddha, ascetics, and rulers)
Kassapa appears in South and Southeast Asian sources as a personal name borne by distinct figures: a canonical Buddha (Kassapa / Kassapa Dasabala), a set of ascetic brothers (Uruvelā‑Kassapa, Nadi Kassapa, Gaya Kassapa) who led monastic followings, and historical rulers (e.g., Kassapa II of Anuradhapura, Kumara Kassapa of Pagan). The supplied material treats Kassapa as reused personal/name‑title across religious and secular contexts rather than a single supernatural spirit.

Kola kanda
Kola kanda is a traditional Sri Lankan herbal congee (porridge) used as a breakfast food and in folk medicinal practice. Sources provided do not support treating 'Kalu Kandha' as a supernatural being; instead the documented term in the sources is the culinary/medicinal preparation 'Kola kanda'.
Mahasona
Mahasona (also Maha Sohona, Mahā Sōnā) is a major cemetery-associated spirit in Sinhalese/Sri Lankan folklore described in sources as "the greatest demon" or "god or demon of the cemetery." He is feared as an agent of sudden death and disease and figures prominently in Sinhalese exorcism ceremonies and in ritual mask traditions.

Naga People (Lanka)
A class of super-humans inhabiting a subterranean world in Sri Lankan tradition, often depicted as serpents. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Primordial instead of Ancient, given their association with serpent symbolism and cosmic significance in Sri Lankan and Indian mythology. 2. Add sensory cues based on source ma)
Nittaewo
A figure of Sri Lankan Veddah and broader folk tradition: a legendary small, bipedal, hairy hominid/cryptid said to have lived in forests and caves of Sri Lanka, described in oral testimony as antagonistic to Veddah people and allegedly exterminated by them in the recent past.
