He is renowned for first uniting the whole island of Sri Lanka by defeating and overthrowing Elara the Pious, a Tamil king from the Chola Kingdom, who had invaded the Anuradhapura kingdom in 205 BC. Dutugamunu also expanded and beautified the city of Anuradhapura and projected the power of the Rajarata kingdom across the island of Sri Lanka."
