Maya Rata

The Maya Rata , also known as the Kingdom of Dakkinadesa, was a principality or an administrative region of the Sinhalese kingdom. It was located in the Southwestern part of Sri Lanka, bordered the Deduru Oya. Its last capital was Parakramapura. The principality was disbanded following the formation of the second kingdom of Polonnaruwa by Parakramabahu I.
While Rajarata was under the direct administration of the King, Maya Rata was governed by a "Mapa", also referred to as a "Mahaya". The name of the region, "Maya," is derived from this title.
