text:
Ellalan, also referred to as Elara the Pious, and by the honorific epithet Manu Needhi Cholan, was a member of the Tamil Chola dynasty in Southern India, who upon capturing the throne became king of the Anuradhapura Kingdom, in present-day Sri Lanka, from 205 BCE to 161 BCE. Ellalan is traditionally presented as a Tamil king who tried to capture Sri Lanka. Ellalan is a negative figure in the history of Sri Lanka and one with particular resonance given the past ethnic strife in the country. Accor
