King Raja of Nadungamuwa

Nedungamuwa Raja was one of the most famous and respected tuskers in Sri Lanka. He belonged to the tusker category and had long and strong tusks. He was born in India in the 1950s and later brought to Sri Lanka.


Nadungamuwa Raja was especially well known for carrying the sacred casket of the Sri Dalada Maligawa Sacred Tooth Relic during the Kandy Esala Perahera. Because of his calm nature, strength, and dignity, he earned great respect and admiration from the people.

His caretaker was Kalu Mama , who took care of his food, health, and daily needs. There was a very strong and loving bond of trust between Kalu Mama and Nadungamuwa Raja. The guidance and care of Kalu Mama were very important, especially during special occasions when the elephant had to remain calm and behave with dignity.

Nadungamuwa Raja’s grand appearance, calm behavior, and noble nature made him different from other elephants. He was deeply respected by many people across the country.

Sadly, Nadungamuwa Raja passed away in 2021. His death was a great loss to Sri Lanka, and he is still remembered with great respect and love.

For the last, Nadungamuwa Raja, along with his caretaker Kalu Mama, remains a legendary symbol of Sri Lanka’s cultural and religious heritage.

 The most valuable thing in my life is my family. My family consists of my mother, my father, and my two elder sisters. The five of us lived very happily together since my childhood.

She works as a preschool teacher and is a very loving and caring mother to me. When I talk about my father, it is very emotional for me.

I lost my father at a time when I needed him the most. However, my mother has raised me and my two sisters very well and has brought us to a good place in life.
