Located in Yakkala nearly thirty km from Colombo, Gampaha Wickremarachchi Ayurveda Institute was established in 1929 as the Siddharyuveda Vidyala to disseminate the then lesser known information on Ayurveda, a traditional medicine system native to India and Sri Lanka. 

Pioneered by late Panditha Gabriel Perera Wickramarachchi whose dream was to establish a Ayurveda training school in Sri Lanka  similar to his Alma Mater,  prestigious Jamini Bhushana Ashtanga Ayurveda Institution in Calcutta; the Ayurveda Institute was humble school of Ayurveda funded and taught by Wickramarachchi and a group of like mineded ayurvedic doctors in the area. The students were taught free of charge and were many a time assisted with lodging by the philanthropic well-wishers and teachers.
