Senkadagalapura's
past Kandy's first Dalada Palace was constructed in. The first ruler was King
Wimaladharmasuriya, who ruled from 1592 until 1604. History claims that
Portuguese invaders destroyed his Dalada Palace. After then, on the same spot
as the first Tooth Palace, King Rajasingha II (1635–1687) built the Second
Tooth Palace in Kandy.
The
Dutch later set it on fire and destroyed it. Next The history of Dalada states that during his
reign in 1687, King Wimaladharmasuriya II erected a three-story Dalada Mandir,
where he enshrined Dalada and carried out a number of rites. The current
two-story Dalada Maliga was constructed by his son Sri Veera Parakrama
Narendrasingha King (1707–1739 AD) because the Dalada Mandura was destroyed by
deterioration. Subsequently, the Sri Dalada Palace constructed by King
Narendrasingha was restored and safeguarded by the Dravida monarchs of the
Nayakkar dynasty, who later became Senkadagala. This Dalada Maliga has been
fully restored to its current state by King Keerthi Sri Rajasingha. During his
reign over Kandy from 1798 to 1815, King Sri Vikrama Rajasingha constructed the
octagonal structure known as Patthirippuwa.
