Utuwankande Sura Saradiel

Deekirikevage Saradiel called Utuwankande Sura Saradiel, translation:Saradiel the Hero of Mountain Utuwan (Sinhala: ??????????? ??? ????????; 25 March 1832 – 7 May 1864) was a Ceylonese gang leader and bandit who became known as the "Robin Hood of Sri Lanka".

Some Sri Lankan scholars place him in the context of regional insurgencies of against British Colonial rule rather than a manifestation of local lawlessness or economic justice.

Due to superstition he was believed to have the power of not being seen and that he was bullet proof.

Many believe that this is because he had Henaraja "yantra" on his arm which lent him such powers.
