About this person

Asela (Sinhala:අසේල) was an early monarch of Sri Lanka of the Kingdom of Anuradhapura, based at the ancient capital of Anuradhapura from 215 BC to 205 BC.

Asela fought Sena and Guttika in a battle to re-establish Vijaya rule in 215 BC, but in 205 BC the kingdom of Anuradhapura was again invaded by a Tamil king from the Chola Dynasty named Ellalan, who killed Asela and ruled Anuradhpura kingdom for 44 years.
