Many famous travelers have visited Sri Lanka. Marco Polo arrived in 1293, Fa Hsien between 399 and 414, and Friar Odoric of Padua in 1329. The most revered visitor, however, was Lord Gautama Buddha. Even Lord Skanda, son of Shiva, left Mount Kailash to live with his beloved Valli at Vedihitikanda, near Katharagama.
