1056–1232 – Polonnaruwa period

Mar 24, 2020 | 1056-1232

The Kingdom of Polonnaruwa was the second major Sinhalese kingdom of Sri Lanka. It existed from 1055, under King Vijayabahu I to 1212 under the rule of Queen Leelavati. The Kingdom of Polonnaruwa came into being after the Anuradhapura Kingdom was invaded by Chola forces under Rajaraja I and led to formation of the Kingdom of Ruhuna, where the Sinhalese Kings ruled during Chola occupation.
