- King
Dutugemunu attacks
The
reconstruction work of the Mahhiyangana Chetiya was complete.
The king summoned his army and said, “We have just begun
the battle. It’s going to be a tough one. Yet, we are sure
to be victorious. Let’s advance”. The army agreed
in one voice. They were impatient to march forward.

Among
the Raja Maha Viharas which received the patronage of the Sinhalese
kings, Kelaniya close to the capital city of Colombo is quite
famous. Just as much as it a temple of historical importance,
Kelaniya has some of the finest paintings of much more recent
origin than those found in other temples.
