The Anuradhapura Period (377 BCE–1017 CE) was a remarkable era in Sri Lankan history, known for the spread of Buddhism, powerful kings, magnificent stupas, and advanced irrigation systems. The kingdom faced repeated invasions and political struggles, eventually losing its role as the capital following the Chola conquest from South India in 993 CE, with royal power later shifting to Polonnaruwa.
