Ummada Chithra - The story of a hidden Beauty

The only daughter of Kind Panduwasdeva in Sri Lanka was the most beautiful woman in the land at that time. Because she was foretold to give birth to a son who would kill all of his uncles, the king was left with no choice but to hide her away on a tower, away from all the men. However, out there was a man lucky enough to start an affair with her in spite of all the security measures taken.

Diga Gamini, a prince from a neighbouring province was eager to see the princess who was said to be of immense beauty, that he disguised himself as a soldier and patrolled near her tower, finally getting a glimpse of her. As their eyes met, Princess Ummada Chithra and Diga Gamini fell in love.

Their child would, as foretold, would defeat all his uncles and gain the throne, becoming the supreme ruler of Sri Lanka.

During the reign of King Valagamba, an army of Cholas invaded Sri Lanka. As the army troupes belonged to seven Chola Leaders, Valagamba lost the battle. King Valagamba had nothing left to do, but to flee with his two queens in a chariot, with the enemies on pursuit. 

Due to the weight of the king, Queen Somadevi and Queen Anula, who was heavily pregnant at that time, the chariot was slowing down. Queen Somadevi realized that if the chariot cannot go faster, all three of them would be captured and maybe killed.

She decided to get off the chariot to lighten it up, to allow the King and his other consort to escape. In spite of the king's protesting, she got off the carriage and was captured by the enemies.

While Somadevi was captured, the king secretly gathered troupes and re entered the battlefield, defeating all seven of the Chola Leaders, and regaining his throne. He sent for his wife, and restored her as his queen.

To honour her brave act, he built a Temple named Somarama. 

Tale of a low caste girl and a prince

King Dutugemunu, one of the most prestigious rulers of Sri Lanka had a son, Saaliya. Unlike his father, Saaliya was a calm, mild gentleman who was not too interested in ruling the kingdom. 

While Saaliya was out hunting in a dense asoka forest, he heard a sweet voice. Following it, he came to a clearing, where a beautiful girl was plucking asoka flowers and making garlands (thus she got her name asoka - mala, garland of asoka flowers) They instantly fell in love with each other, without the knowledge that Saaliya is a prince while she was of low caste. 

When the king found out about Saaliya's affair, he was outraged, but, respected his son's choice, allowing him to go join Asokamala's tribe, if Saaliya is willing to give up the throne. 

Saaliya chose Asokamala's love over the royal throne, thus the couple was married and sent off.

Born this way!!!!

Recently, I came across a facebook page with the name, "like is you think disney should have a princess with cancer in tribute to all the little girls fighting cancer!". I really thought this is very thoughtful and sweet.

However, I felt I have the potential to do more than just liking a page. That is why I came up with this gorgeous princess. She is fighting a beast and vowing to spend even her final bit of energy to do so, and thus, she is a heroine.

****LET US PRAY FOR A PERMANENT CURE FOR CANCER****
