| King Kashyapa 1 made Sigiriya
his capital. As a result, for a period of about eight
years, Anuradhapura was not the capital city. But Mugalan,
who came to the throne next, made Anuradhapura the capital
once more. From that time till 1017, no ruler wanted to
change the capital. The invaders however, did not like
Anuradhapura. They broke down and destroyed the temples
there and plundered all the wealth. They ruined the city,
abandoned it and made Polonnaruwa, the next capital. They
named it Jayanathapura. |

Forum |
By Natasha Fernandopulle |
| The year 2006 was declared 'The National
Year of the Child,' by President Mahinda Rajapakse, in
February this year. Keeping this in mind, 'Save the Children
in Sri Lanka,' organised the National Children's Forum
for The Year of the Child 2006. They understood the importance
of children needing a way to express their thought and
views. Therefore meetings and workshops were organised
to gather the views of children around Sri Lanka. |
