Dhadu Monara (original) (raw)

According to folk tales, Dhadu Monaraya was the legendary pre-historic aircraft of King Ravana of Sri Lanka. It was used by king Rawana to travel among countries under his command. But no archeological evidence has been found anywhere in Sri Lanka to prove the existence of such an aircraft. The Department of Archeology of Sri Lanka has rejected this story as a mere fiction since there is no archeological evidence or credible historical records to prove it. According to the Sinhalese legend the Lakegala Rock is thought to mark the location of the Lankapura Kingdom and King Ravana’s capital.
