In the heart of Navam Mawatha, the annual Gangaramaya Navam Maha Perahera transforms the surroundings into a vivid spectacle of drums, lights, and cultural expressions. Since its inception in 1979, this event has become a significant cultural and spiritual highlight, led by the dedicated efforts of Ven Galaboda Gnanissara Thero, the Chief Incumbent of the Gangaramaya Temple.

The primary goal of the Perahera is to preserve ancient traditions and revive heritage performances of dance and music. Under the guidance of Podi Hamuduruwo, the temple has successfully kept these traditions alive, drawing thousands of artists from across the island in celebration.

One striking aspect of the Gangaramaya Temple and the Navam Perahera is its ability to foster unity and harmony among diverse communities. Buddhists,Hindus, Muslims, and Christians come together, showcasing their cultural heritage in a procession that involves performers from various regions of the country.
The main attraction of the Perahera is the Sacred Relic Casket placed on a magnificently adorned tusker, surrounded by caparisoned elephants and dancers.

Presidents and Prime Ministers partake in this significant moment, creating an atmosphere of reverence and spirituality. Despite February being considered an off-season for tourist arrivals, the Perahera has played a crucial role in boosting the
country's tourism industry.

Ven Kirinde Assaji Thero, the deputy Incumbent of the Gangaramaya Temple emphasizes the importance of events like the Navam Perahera in promoting reconciliation and harmony. This event has not only become a national spectacle but also draws tourists, contributing significantly to the economic development of
Sri Lanka.

The Gangaramaya Temple, under the visionary leadership of Podi Hamuduruwo,continues to serve as a place of worship for all religions, symbolizing unity and inclusivity. This forward-thinking approach ensures the preservation of the rich religious and cultural heritage for future generations. The Navam Maha Perahera stands as a testament to the nation's commitment to celebrating its diversity and fostering harmony through cultural and religious events.

Kandy is a city with graceful charm, radiating an ambiance of antiquity that you will find only in a Sri Lanka holiday. Do insist on spending at least two whole days in the city of the last Sinhala Kings of the island, your Sri Lanka tour operator will not hesitate! Cocooned in the comfort of a protected valley in the central hills of Sri Lanka, the city at 500 meters (1640 feet) above sea level is home to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and a vast array of shrines, and temples dating back to the 14th century. In 1592 Kandy became the capital of the Sinhala kings who repulsed the Portuguese and Dutch invaders. They held out against the British until 1815. The proud city is also home to several monuments, including the Dalada Maligawa the “Palace of the Sacred Tooth Relic”- the symbol of sovereignty of the nation, a must visit site in your Sri Lanka Holiday. The Magul Maduwa – The Audience Hall with its wooden columns is the epitome of Kandyan architecture. It is in this space that the Sinhala chieftains ceded the kingdom to the British Crown in 1815.The City is built with the Temple Palace of the Sacred Tooth Relic at its epicenter. Four shrines – Devales that surround the Temple Palace are dedicated to the Gods Vishnu, Skandha, Natha and Paththini. The God Vishnu is the guardian deity of the Buddhist Island, God Skandha is the god of war, God Natha is an incarnation of the Bhodisathva the next Buddha and Goddess Paththini is the goddess of chastity and health.

The two monasteries Asgiriya and Malwathu house two chapters of the Main Buddhist sect that is referred to as the Siamese school. The two prelates of Asgiriya and Malwathu are vested with the ecclesiastical authority of administering the temple palace – the Dalada Maligawa. Malwathu which literally means floral abode has preserved its impressive hall with its imposing columns and the magnificent painted ceiling. Kandy is the cultural and religious capital of Sri Lanka. The splendor of the great pageant of the “Esala Perehara” reaffirms its sanctity every year. It is a spectacle held usually in the first week of August with the full moon. To include it in your Sri Lanka holiday needs some planning including your Sri Lanka flights. Kandy is virtually hidden behind a thick curtain of natural foliage in the form of lush tropical forests and a 60-hectare botanical garden. This is another reason why you need two days in Kandy in your Sri Lanka Holiday plan. The garden was first conceived by King Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe on the loop of the Mahaweli River that partly encircles Kandy. Under their care and meticulous attention, the Botanical Gardens took shape as the best in Asia. A promenade of palm trees is an unusual example of creative gardening that the English are known for. The palm saplings were brought from Panama in 1903. The garden has plant species from all over the world from exotic orchids to a tree that spreads its canopy to cover 1.600 square meters. One of the most endearing sights during your Sri Lanka vacation will be the scene of work elephants reposing in the gently flowing Mahaweli River, spraying a steady stream of water with their trunks in carefully orchestrated symphony. In tandem you will hear the Drums and Bells of the Temple palace.

Freedom & Gratitude ✨

It is important to look back and see all the big footsteps you took to be where you are today. It is important to reflect and appreciate everything from birth to your current situation, which is pure luck mixed with concise decisions.

This means taking some time to appreciate your luck and the chances given to you and taking responsibility for putting yourself in the current situation - positive or negative.

Today I am doing what I love and monetizing it to make a living from my passion. There are many credits to be given to me. But on top of everything is YOU - my audience. Those who support my work entertain themselves by watching videos, learning, and even taking the chance to go to where I have been.

This would not be possible; without you. I would still travel twice a year between 25 days of vacation. With you, I am constantly on the road and free with my time, location, and finances.

Thank you for all the love, support, likes, comments, and everything else.

Much love, Davud Akhundzada ❤️

Mahatma Gandhi Park near Batticaloa Fort is an idyllic place to admire Batti’s old waterfront. Interestingly though, there is no direct association to the inspiring Indian leader, however, it is dedicated to him due to the many efforts he made to bring about peace.

Anuradhapura is one of the island’s most famous ancient cities, firmly in place in any tours in Sri Lanka. The ancient ruins predating the Christian era puts Anuradhapura in the pantheon of human history along with Athens, Alexandria and Pataliputra. It depicts the trajectory of the Sinhalese civilization from the time it was founded in 4th century BC. The Mahavansa, the historical chronicle affirms that the city was founded in 380 BC. The capital city of Sinhala Kings of Sri Lanka suffered, survived, was razed to the ground and was rebuilt as most other cities whose prosperity and the envy of rulers in its proximity was a recipe for recurring disasters and innovative engineering in reconstruction. The past grandeur is narrated by a fascinating collection of ancient ruins some of which have been painstakingly restored. The remote part of a majestic capital and a monastic city of benevolent kings, despotic monarchs, retreating rulers and heroic conquerors reach out to you from Sri Lanka history. The Dagoba – Thuparamaya was built by King Devanam Piya Tissa in 3rd century BC to enshrine the clavicle of the Buddha, considered a sacred relic that was gifted to the King by the Mauryan Missionary Emperor Asoka. The city was conquered and sacked by Pandyan kings in the 9th century. The destruction in AD 993 by an invading Indian King brought an end to the city as the capital of Sri Lanka. Close to Anuradhapura is Mihintale, the oldest and the first wildlife sanctuary of all mankind. The story goes that King Devanam Piya Tissa who was a deer hunt when he found Arahant Mahinda and by royal edict declared the entire area as a protected reserve a tradition that continues to this day. Other than Mihintale, there are more than 14 protected wild life parks you can visit on your Sri Lanka trip.

The oldest tree in the world adorns this city of shrines. It was brought from India in the 3rd century BC. Its sanctity rests on it being grown from the Bo Tree (focus religious) in Bodhgaya India. Under the shade of the parent tree, the Ascetic Siddharathe sought enlightenment. The relicts of the Buddha enshrined in Stupas or Dagobas have thus determined the topography of Anuradhapura. Your holiday in Sri Lanka needs to an enriching experience. Find the answer to the question “can man escape his destiny?” Yes. See the Samadhi Statue of the Buddha, matchless in the intense serenity that it radiates. Can a royal bath be made as ornate in its scale and beauty as that of a cathedral? Yes, See the twin ponds. To learn about Sri Lanka is to learn about the genius of man.

Unforgettable architecture, steeped in history and culture. Built over a thousand years ago by a king hiding from the reckoning of his patricide, Sigiriya (or the “Lion’s Rock”) is a historical site that was once both an ancient castle and impenetrable fortress, with symmetrical water gardens.

Your trek up the rock will take you past timeworn paintings of the king’s concubines, and past a gateway guarded by the remains of a giant lion statue that gave the rock its name. You’ll have to climb up around 1,200 steps to reach the top. Sigiriya is one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic attractions, and is definitely not to be missed.
