Aggabodhi II was King of Anuradhapura (in modern-day Sri Lanka) in the 7th century CE.
[2] Upon coming to the throne, Aggabodhi II continued the work his uncle had begun, and undertook his own projects - building and restorating of religious structures, and improving infrastructure such as irrigation.
[3][4] Over the course of his rule, he constructed fourteen reservoirs (also called tanks), including Kantalai and Girithale.
[6][7] Some sources suggest this may have been due to the actions of Chalukya king Pulakesin II (A.D.609-A.D.655) that happened in A.D.609.
