Riviresa was a Sinhala language weekly newspaper in Ceylon published by Independent Newspapers Limited, part of M. D. Gunasena & Company.[1] It was founded on 20 August 1961 as Rividina and was published from Colombo.[2] The paper changed its name to Riviresa in January 1963.[2] In 1966 it had an average net sales of 170,000.[1] It had an average circulation of 185,000 in 1973.[3]
