Before Prince Adeetta arrived, the Maldives was inhabited by those who came from India and had no government or leader. The prince, who was banished from his Kingdom in India by his father, was sent to the Maldives where he formed the Solar Dynasty. Although at present it is a 100% Islam country, it has its vague history where there were Hinduism and Buddhism. In fact, there still are some ancient ruins of stupas left.
