The defeat of the cholas - Mahawamsa
With the intention of attacking on two fronts at the same time, the Sinhala troops marched separately. They were to join after the attack. But Prince Kulasekera sensed this and he wanted to stop the two battalions from joining. He organized a huge army and marched the entire army to fight. This battle was fought in a place, ten miles to the south of the city of Madhura. The exact place was named 'Raangiyam.'

Sacred city of Anuradhapura
Anuradhapura was made royal capital by King Pandukabhaya in 380 BC. It remained residence and royal capital for 119 successive Sinhalese kings till the year 1000 AD when it was abandoned and the capital moved to Polonnaruwa. You will see some of the most famous monuments, the tallest dagoba of Sri Lanka, remains from palaces, temples, monasteries, ceremonial baths and the temple of the sacred Bo-tree.
