Paravi Island or Randupata is an island located in the middle of the sea next to the coast of Matara District in the Southern Province and is visible from Monevata not far from Matara Bus Station. A beautiful scenic island that has attracted the attention of tourists, this is a wonderful gift of nature.
In the past, it was named as Pigeon Island because of its roosting of stone pigeons, and nowadays this place has been developed as the Uposathagara of the Rohana sect of the Siamese sect.
The island is accessible via an iron bridge and the island looks very beautiful from the shore. Nilwala River, Matara Bodhi, St. Mary's Church etc. can be seen near this place. Just as Matara Beach Park, which is a scenic place with a black view, soothes the tired human mind...the view of the Pigeon Island that catches the eye from there is a wonderful place that catches the eyes of photographers. This is a beautiful island for pilgrims to visit as well as for tourists to see.
