A village in Ceylon, which contained a vihára and a thúpa. King Vasabha repaired the thúpa, built an uposatha-house, and endowed land for the maintenance of lamps in the house (Mhv.xxxv.85). The village is probably identical with that mentioned elsewhere as Galamba-titthagáma (Cv.lxxv.7). In that case, it was in Rohana and was the scene of a battle in the campaign of Parakkamabáhu I.

The Commentaries (E.g., SNA.i.57; VibhA.353) contain references to a group of fifty monks dwelling in Galambatittha Vihára, who took a vow never to address each other until they attained arahantship.

See s.v. Kalambatittha.
