Hi... every one!

King of Wattagamani Abhaya
In 103BC, Valagamba in turn killed Kammaharattaka and took over the throne. He takes on Mahaculika, the son of Khallatanaga, as his own son. King Walagambha took Anuladevi as his queen. He also had another queen named Soma Devi.
After that Walagaamba acceded to the throne, a Brahmin named Tissa of Rohana revolted against him. Meanwhile, an invading army led by seven Tamil leaders landed in Mahaththita from southern India. Tissa and the seven Tamil leaders sent messages to King Walagamba asking them to hand over his power. Walagamba informed Brahmana Tissa that the kingdom belonged to him and told him to defeat the invading army. Recognizing this, Tissa tried to fight but was defeated by the Tamil people.
The greatest design of Abhayagiri Dagaba (Height – 230ft) and s stupa built by King Walagambha. Abayagiri temple has become one of the three main Buddhist temples in the country. Abhayagiri Vihāra was a major monastery site of Mahayana. This temple is located in the Anuradhapura district.
