The boy was caught and it was  his confession that  gave the clue as to where the king was hiding in a  straw thatched house  belonging to the headman. Ekneligoda broke open the door of the house  and demanded that the king opens the door.<img src="http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/57431867.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.greatmirror.com/images/medium/015382.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />(the monument ,it's where their last king, fleeing Kandy and seeking refuge, surrendered to trackers )<img src="http://www.greatmirror.com/images/medium/015384.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   In the Ceylinco Life Insurance car parking lot in Fort Colombo there is a small jail cell  where the last King of Kandy was kept until he was deported to India by  the British. One would not notice what appears to be a small shed if not  for an inscription and a statue on the side. You can peer into the tiny  chamber through bars and see paintings of King Vikrama Rajasinha, his  wife, and the Brit who captured him. You can also see the last packet of  Gold Leaf the King was allowed to smoke on Sri Lankan soil. It’s a  rather strange place<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4149/4837721661_4461cbe56c.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.jaffnaroyalfamily.org/contentfiles/Image/historical/kingkandy/DSC00730.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.ceylontoday.lk/ct-admin/images/news/1125_fort.200.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4125/4837693501_4b82e20d18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4152/4837699173_bcc35b2731.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />He stayed in Colombo from 6th March 1815 to 24th January 1816 in a  special cell made for him, and was driven to the Colombo harbour to  board the ship Cornwallis for Madras with his wives and family. He was  escorted by a young civil servant William Granville. It is said that the  ship sailed for four weeks.He died in India 1832 in India  as a prisinor in Vellore Fort.
