Till that time all "kovils" was placed out side of the temples and operated. (visit the Anceint cities and temples and see the ruins has the Kovils OUTSIDE the temple...never inside of it)When Raja Singhe was fighting the Britsh, he was running out of men and power and sent out a SOS message to the Indian Maharaja's whome he has "imported" wive's from. But "ALAS" they did help too late, but one of the condition they put was to intergrate the Kovils' inside to the temples. (you can read and get more information on this devestating "deal" by going through chapters in "mahawanshaya" regarding the Kandy era)  Ok, I know, I am refering to too many books <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />. But let me recommend you all a  series of books (18 Volumes) if you have time to read and money to buy it."Mahaweli Wanshaya" 18 Volumes(books). Cost around 2850/- per book (5 years ago) and available at Mahawelu Kendraya and I think they have these books in reference section at the Colombo Library. I can lend you the complete series if you are genuinly interested on learning A-Z about Sri Lankan History and on the solem promise of that you are GOING TO RETURN IT <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />BTW. Each book is around 1200 Pages <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /> so, that's gonna be a lot of reading <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
