Maldives visit June 2023

Maldives is a land of chronicles and it is said that it was first colonized by India way back in 269 B.C. If legends are to be believed, it is said that the islands were priorly occupied by a small community that worshipped the sun and water. The first real kingdom here was founded by Sri Soorudasaruna Adeettiya, the son of a ruler of Kalinga, a kingdom in India. The king was extremely angered by his son’s actions and had sent him away to Maldives, then called Dheeva Maari. Thereon began the rich history of the Maldives islands.
