RANNAMAARI

We have been told for more than 20 years, regarding the history of how we as a country converted to Islam, that it was the Rannamaari that was the catalyst in bringing about this change to the sultanate then of the Maldives islands. The Sea Monster or Sea Demon,….or as we all know turned out to be the king himself embroiled in this conspiracy to avert the power of the Buddhist and Hindhu monks who had been clashing with the sultan’s power.
