- Devol (also spelled as Dewol) is a deity subjected to worship and belief in Sri Lanka. He is one of the twelve deities worshiped in Sri Lanka as "Dolos Deviyo" (twelve gods), who are believed to be intervening in the affairs of the worldlings. The practice of the worship of Devol deviyo or the cult of Devol is widespread among the Sinhalese, specially in the Southwestern lowlands and coastal areas of the country. Devotees who make offerings at the shrines and perform rituals usually seek vengeance, benevolence and prosperity from the deity to solve their day to day problems. The Seenigama shrine consecrated to God Devol, on the Galle - Colombo main road located in close proximity to the Hikkaduwa town has become a popular destination of the devotees as well as the local and foreign tourists who visit Hikkaduwa area.
