Aludeniya is a village in Sri Lanka. Located in the Central Province district of Kandy, it lies west of Galagedara and south of Gunadaha.

History

During the Kandyan period, the village was one of many village that were "degraded" by King Raja Sinha, for showing cowardice during the Sinhalese–Portuguese War. The village was inhabited by "Gattaru—Vellalas". A vihāra was built after 1815 by Kinigomuwe Unnanse.[1]
