Complete imagined royal daughter on shore
AI interpretation; royal daughter, clothing and shore imagined.
Overview
The tourism account links rising seas at Kelaniya with King Kelanithissa’s killing of a monk. To remedy the attributed wrongdoing, his daughter Vihara Maha Devi is offered to the sea and drifts to Kirinda.
King Kawanthissa of Ruhunu welcomes her and marries her. The page associates their marriage with the site of Lahugala Magul Maha Viharaya. These are attributed royal and landscape traditions; this profile does not verify a tsunami, its date, supernatural punishment or every proposed landing place.
