The first king of the Theemuge dynasty is known asSiri Mahabaranaand he is believed to beKoimala Kalo.Sri Mahabarana was proclaimed king in the year 1117 or 1118. Other sources suggest that the Theemuge Dharikolhu was the new name of theSoma Vansa Lunar Dynastryafter the conversion to Islam of KingDhovemiwhich lasted from c.1153 to c.1388. In this case King Dhovemi, the fifth king of the Lunar Dynastry became the first King of the Theemuge Dynastry.
Svasti Sri Somavamsa Adipati Sri Theemuge Sri Maha Parama Aditya Maha Radun[citation needed]became the first king to rule over the whole of Maldives after reclaiming the northern atolls from the Indian invaders.
