Following the 'Vijayabā Kollaya' in 1521, the Kotte kingdom was divided.
Raigam Bandara, also known as Pararajasinha, was a son of King Vijayabahu VI of Kotte. Following the 'Vijayabā Kollaya' (Spoiling of Vijayabahu) in 1521, where he and his two brothers (Bhuvanaikabahu VII and Mayadunne) revolted against their father, the Kotte kingdom was divided.
Raigam Bandara received the principality of Raigama. He ruled it until his death in 1538. Unlike his ambitious brothers, he is less prominent in historical chronicles.
Upon his death, his territories were annexed by his brother Mayadunne, strengthening the Sitawaka kingdom.
