Bible Rock (Batalegala in Sinhala language) is a mountain near Aranayake in Kegalle District in central Sri Lanka. It is known as the "Bible rock" as its surface seems like a book/bible. Due to its prominent flat top surface, it resembles the more famous Sigiriya citadel located more north of it.

Travelling with the Main Line (Sri Lanka) from Colombo to Kandy you can see it.
