The 215th anniversary of Pandara Vanniyan's victory was remembered on Friday in Mullaitivu.
Local residents, Northern Provincial Council member T Ravikaran, and Karaithuraipettu Divisional Council (Pradesiya Sabai) members laid a garland at the Pandara Vanniyan memorial.
Pandara vanniyan was a Tamil king who ruled the Vanni region in the 18th century.
Known as the 'Last King of Vanni', he died fighting colonial rule by the Dutch and British.
The statue of him was damaged by Sri Lankan army soldiers in 2010.
