Archaeologists now believe that the old Issurumuniya Temple is the Dakkina Meghagiri Viharaya, where ceremonies for the Rain God were performed. There is an Uttara Meghagiri Viharaya in ruins now, on the northern side of the Abhayagiriya Temple. The Elephant sculpture, the small pond, the black rock formations and the beautiful sculpture of the Man & Horse, identified as Agni (lightning) and Parjannya (Rain God) at the site, are proof to recognize this Temple as the center where ceremonies for the Rain God were held. The small site museum at the Temple has the famous sculpture of Issurumuniya Lovers and other sculpture found at the site including the piece of Royal Family sculpture.
