A vihara in Ceylon. In it once lived fifty monks who agreed on the full moon day of Asalha not to talk to each other until they became arahants. Their goal was reached within a month (DA.i.190; SA.iii.155; SnA.i.57; VibhA.353; MA.i.209f).

This vihara is very probably identical with Galambatittha (q.v.).
