Lāḷaraṭṭha (लाऌअरट्ठ) is the name of a locality situated in Aparāntaka (western district) of ancient India, as recorded in the Pāli Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).—Lāḷaraṭṭha is mentioned in the Dīpavaṃsa and Mahāvaṃsa as a kingdom ruled over by a King name Sīhavāhu. Lāḷaraṭṭha is Sanskrit Lātarāṣṭra and is evidently identical with the old Lāta kingdom of Gujerat, the Larike of Ptolemy, the capital city of which is stated in the Dīpavaṃsa to have been Sīhapura.
