Kalahe is a village in Galle District in Sri Lanka, located 7km (04miles) south-west of Galle and 3km (02miles) west of Unawatuna.[1]
There are two stories as to how the name Kalahe is derived, the first relates to the fact the local population rebelled against the activities of the foreigners and so the village was called Kalahe, which means "quarreling". The other is that a golden pot (කළය) was found buried in the earth in the village, called Kalahe.
Kalahe is located on the highway, connecting Galle to Madampe, not far from Exit 9 on the Southern Expressway.
