The Paththirippuwa, also known as the Octagonal Pavilion, is a magnificent architectural structure located at the entrance of the Kandy Maligawa(Palace) in Sri Lanka.

[2] The front section of the temple, together with the Pattirippuwa was built in 1802, during the reign of King Sri Vickrama Rajasingha, by the royal architect, Devendra Moolacharya.

[3] Moolacharya is also credited with the designing and construction of the Magul Maduwa (the Audience Hall), the Kandy Lake (Kiri Muhuda), Walakula Bamma (Cloud Wall) and Diyarella Bemma.

[5] The Pattirippuwa was intended as a place where Rajasingha could exhibit the sacred tooth relic to the surrounding populace,[6] view the temple festivals, peraheras and on important occasions address his subjects.

[12][13] The restoration work on the Pattirippuwa was undertaken by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority, under the managing director, H. A. Wijegunawardhana, with the guidance of the Department of Archaeology.
