Forumhubbers,

We can discuss about Srilankan history in this.
No politics. Anything interesting from the
early history will be welcome.

I have heard of Lanka Pura sent by Parakirama Pahu in the times of Raja Raja Chola who entered into Tamilagam and captured Madurai. Then he
was defeated by Pallvarayan a lieutenant
in the Raja rajan's army.

Anybody knows anything else about Parakirama Pahu.
Please come forward.

No Politics please....

  some excerpts from the above link:
  
  "The Sinhala army marched from the coast into the interior of Pandya Nadu. It looted and burned many Tamil villages on the way. In the ensuing battles between the Sinhala army and Kulasekhara Pandyan's army..."
  
  "Kulasekhara Pandyan gathered all forces in Padya Nadu loyal to him and waged war again and won a major victory against Lankapura. Veera Pandyan fled Madurai again. Lankan King Parakramabahu sent reinforcements..."
  
  "Pallavarayan pursued
  Lankapuri, captured him and beheaded him. The severed head was hoisted on a spear at the gates of Madurai, the Pandyan capital. Crows and other birds ate the flesh of the head, and the skull remained on display at the gates for months. Thus ended the occupation of Pandya Nadu (about one-third of Tamil Nadu) by the Sinhalese army."
  
  my comments: [Beaware, any sinhalese dreaming about invading TAmils will have the same fate as lanka pura!]
