    There is a square white monument in his honour. In the centre, there is a white granite block with the inscription which reads" sacred to the memory of Ehelapola Wijesoondra Wickramasinghe Chandrasekra Amerakoon Wahalanodianse, late First Adikar or Prime Minister to the King of Kandy, who died 4 April 1829, aged 57 years".

    Funeral of the prince of Kandy in 1612

    This prince was the son of Dona Catharina and Vimala Dharma Suriya, the ceylonese rulers of Kandy. His mother was inconsolable when he died and had him buried with much pomp and ceremony. Records says that there were invitees from
    asian contries and Arab royal Family members.
