Raigama Bandara also known as Pararajasinghe was the son of Vijayabahu VII (1521) and brother of Mayadunne and Buvanekabahu VI. When Kingdom of Kotte was divided due to the incident known as "Wijayaba Kollaya", which resulted the assassination of king Vijayabahu, Pararajasinghe became the ruler of Raigama. Raigam Bandara is known as a good ruler who upheld the economy of the Raigama. However after a battle with Kingdom of Kotte the family of Raigam Bandara had fled to Matara as a result of miscommunication. The fleeing of the family was followed by downfall of the ruler himself. The only straight descendants of the king still live bearing the name of "Mohotti" in Matara and in North Central province.
