India history and geography
The kingdom close to Kolamba (Colombo) was referred to as Kotte. Chulavamsa mentions that Mayadhanu of the 4th century founded his kingdom in Gangasiripura near Kolamba. Seemingly, Cholas occupied Anuradhapura in the northern Sri Lanka in the 4 th century. Thus, Gangasiripura continued to be the royal capital till 12th century. Prince Sapumal Kumaraya conquered Jaffna in 1391. Later, he killed Jayavira to capture Kotte Kingdom. He renamed it as “Sri Jayavardhanapura”.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
