'To thee I give, dear Kandula, the lordship over the whole of the island of Lanka'
The Lankan King Dutugemunu, who reigned from 161-137 BC
Why Kandula?
Kandula is a legendary elephant in Sri Lanka who belonged to King Dutugemunu and is said to have played a significant role in the shaping of the nation during the second century BC.
We chose Kandula as the inspiration for our brand because he is still an important part of Sri Lankan heritage. For us he embodies nobility, courage, pride, loyalty and companionship.
