DHANU DHANUKSHAN

SIGIRIYA

The story of Sigiriya dates back to the 5th century, when Sri Lanka was ruled by King Kasyapa. The king was the son of King Dhatusena, but he was not the rightful heir to the throne. Kasyapa feared that he would lose his life to his half-brother, Moggallana, who was the legitimate heir to the throne. Therefore, Kasyapa overthrew his father and imprisoned him, and then moved the capital from Anuradhapura to Sigiriya.
