Ibn batuta visited Sri paada because by that time in history it was famous in the Muslim world that the prophet Adam’s foot print is found on it. Before ibn batuta’s arrival it was a famous tourist spot among the Arabs. That’s why the Sri paada is called ‘Adam’s peak’ in English

Ibn Battuta's memoir on Tughlaq dynasty Ibn Battuta, the Moroccan Muslim traveller, left extensive notes on Tughlaq dynasty in his travel memoirs. Ibn Battuta arrived in India through the mountains of Afghanistan, in 1334, at the height of Tughlaq dynasty's geographic empire.[68] On his way, he learnt that Sultan Muhammad Tughluq liked gifts from his visitors, and gave to his visitors gifts of far greater value in return. Ibn Battuta met Muhammad bin Tughluq, presenting him with gifts of arrows, camels, thirty horses, slaves and other goods. Muhammad bin Tughlaq responded by giving Ibn Battuta with a welcoming gift of 2,000 silver dinars, a furnished house and the job of a judge with an annual salary of 5,000 silver dinars that Ibn Battuta had the right to keep by collecting taxes from two and a half Hindu villages near Delhi.[67] In his memoirs about Tughlaq dynasty, Ibn Batutta recorded the history of Qutb complex which included Quwat al-Islam Mosque and the Qutb Minar.[94] He noted the seven-year famine from 1335 AD, which killed thousands upon thousands of people near Delhi, while the Sultan was busy attacking rebellions.[67] He was tough both against non-Muslims and Muslims. For example, Not a week passed without the spilling of much Muslim blood and the running of streams of gore before the entrance of his palace. This included cutting people in half, skinning them alive, chopping off heads and displaying them on poles as a warning to others, or having prisoners tossed about by elephants with swords attached to their tusks. - Ibn Battuta, Travel Memoirs (1334-1341, Delhi)[67] The Sultan was far too ready to shed blood. He punished small faults and great, without respect of persons, whether men of learning, piety or high station. Every day hundreds of people, chained, pinioned, and fettered, are brought to this hall, and those who are for execution are executed, for torture tortured, and those for beating beaten. - Ibn Battuta, Chapter XV Rihla (Delhi)[95] In Tughlaq dynasty, the punishments were extended even to Muslim religious figures who were suspected rebellion.[94] For example, Ibn Battuta mentions Sheikh Shinab al-Din, who was imprisoned and tortured as follows: On the fourteen day, the Sultan sent him food, but he (Sheikh Shinab al-Din) refused to eat it. When the Sultan heard this he ordered that the sheikh should be fed human excrement [dissolved in water]. [His officials] spread out the sheikh on his back, opened his mouth and made him drink it (the excrement). On the following day, he was beheaded. - Ibn Battuta, Travel Memoirs (1334-1341, Delhi)[94][96] Ibn Batutta wrote that Sultan's officials demanded bribes from him while he was in Delhi, as well as deducted 10% of any sums that Sultan gave to him.[97] Towards the end of his stay in Tughluq dynasty court, Ibn Battuta came under suspicion for his friendship with a Sufi Muslim holy man.[68] Both Ibn Battuta and the Sufi Muslim were arrested. While Ibn Battuta was allowed to leave India, the Sufi Muslim was killed as follows according to Ibn Battuta during the period he was under arrest: (The Sultan) had the holy man's beard plucked out hair by hair, then banished him from Delhi. Later the Sultan ordered him to return to court, which the holy man refused to do. The man was arrested, tortured in the most horrible way, then beheaded. - Ibn Battuta, Travel Memoirs (1334-1341, Delhi)[68]
From Wikipedia: For Buddhists, the footprint mark is the left foot of the Buddha, left behind when Buddha visited Sri Lanka, as a symbol for worship at the invitation of Buddhist God Saman. Tamil Hindus consider it as the footprint of Lord Shiva. It is also fabled that the mountain is the legendary mount Trikuta, the capital of Ravana during the Ramayana times from where he ruled Lanka. Some Muslims and Christians in Sri Lanka ascribe it to where Adam, the first ancestor, set foot as he was exiled from the Garden of Eden.[citation needed] The legends of Adam are connected to the idea that Sri Lanka was the original Eden,[12][13] and in the Muslim tradition that Adam was 60 cubits tall.[14][citation needed]
I wish you both very happy new year. I love this program and watch it regularly. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Nuwan and Prof. Raj Somadeva, on this episode re. famous traveller, Ibn Battuta who visited Sri Lanka and recorded his visit. Here is more on him: "The Incredible Journey of Medieval Adventurer Ibn Battuta" on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3S4aXycatZ_nqM
I have visited Male Maldives several times n in the main city of Male oldest mosque is actually a having lots of Buddhist symbols such as moonstone n elephant sculptures so it’s obvious they converted the Buddhist temple into a mosque My question is this when Maldives king took a decision overnight to convert Maldives from a Buddhist state to an Islamic state why didn’t our King intervene and stop it? I mean according to the Maldives history some Maldivian Buddhist monk resisted n had a rebellion against de Maldives king why didn’t our king supported those monks
