View asset onlySri Lanka: A Kandyan chief and a Buddhist monk (Davy, 1821).In 1592 Kandy became the capital city of the last remaining independent kingdom in Sri Lanka after the coastal regions had been conquered by the Portuguese. Kandy stayed independent until the early 19th century. In the Second Kandyan War, the British met no resistance and reached the city on February 10, 1815. On March 2, 1815, a treaty known as the Kandyan Convention was signed between the British and the Radalas (Kandyan aristocrats). With this treaty, Kandy recognized the King of England as its King and became a British protectorate.IdentifierAKG3804632SourcePictures From HistoryCredit lineakg-images / Pictures From HistoryImage date2.7.2015Time Period19TH CENTURY2ND MILLENNIUM A.D.TopicBUDDHISMCOLONIALISMFEUDALISMHISTORYIMPERIALISMJACKFRUITMONK ; FRIARGeographyASIACEYLONKANDYSize5100px × 3610px (52 MB) 43.1 cm × 30.5 cm @ 300 dpiAdd to lightbox: 'My First Lightbox'Add to cartDownload
