Fa Hien Cave, also Pahiyangala Cave, is situated in the district of Kalutara, Western Province, Sri Lanka and according to a rural legend, named after an alleged resident during historical times, namely Buddhist monk Faxian (also Fa-Hien, or Fa Hsien). However, there is no archaeological or historical evidence to support this legend. Nonetheless, the site is of archaeological significance as Late Pleistocene human fossilized skeletal remains were discovered in the cave's sediments during excavations in the 1960s, the 1980s and in 2013.

  • La grotte de Fa Hien, également appelée grotte Pahiyangala, est située dans le district de Kalutara, dans la Province de l'Ouest du Sri Lanka. Selon la légende, elle est nommée d'après le moine bouddhiste chinois Faxian qui y aurait résidé. Le site revêt une importance archéologique grâce aux fossiles humains du Pléistocène supérieur qui ont été découverts dans ses sédiments lors de fouilles effectuées dans les années 1960 et 1980, ainsi que plus récemment en 2013.
