Kingdom of Kotte
The name "Dewalapola" is a compound formed of "Dewele" (of two times) and "Pola" (place) which means "a place that used twice (a day)". Accordance with the historical scripts found in Sri Lanka, for example "Mahawamsa" and "Rajavaliya", "Udugampola Rajadhaniya" (the Kingdom of Udugampola) was being ruled by King Sakalakala Wallabha when his elder half brother, Buwanakabahu, owned the throne under the name of Dharma Parakramabahu IX(1508 AD - 1528 AD) of the Kingdom of Kotte succeeding his father King Veera Parakramabahu.
