Elara is a solo project born in 2007 after the break of italian metal hardcore band Mildewed, in which Elara was the guitar player for 5 years. It was just this dismissing to create a moment of reflection, the research of peace and serenity, and it was also a consequence of the big change in his style and music concept. Elara is the result of love and passion for classic and ambient music and its ability to create in the head of listeners images of skies and far landscapes <a href="https://

Ellalan (; ; 235–161 BCE), also referred to as Elara the Pious, and by the honorific epithet Manu Needhi Cholan, was a member of the Tamil Chola dynasty in Southern India, who upon capturing the throne became king of the Anuradhapura Kingdom, in present-day Sri Lanka, from 205 BCE to 161 BCE.

Ellalan is traditionally presented as being a just king even by the Sinhalese. The Mahavamsa states that he ruled 'with even justice toward friend and foe, on occasions of disputes at law', and elaborates how he even ordered the execution of his son for killing a calf under his chariot wheels.
