The Kandy Esala Perahera. ෴ (කන්ද උඩරට ඇසළ පෙරහැර) - Sri Lanka

The Sacred Tooth Relic, which is housed at the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic in the city of Kandy, is considered and worshipped as the living Lord Buddha. For this very reason, there are daily, weekly and annual poojas and rituals.

Dalada Perahera famously known as the Kandy Esala Perahera held in the month of Esala (July) annually is among them. It is considered the epitome of the country’s Buddhist celebrations and is blessed with divinity.

The history of Esala Perahera dates back to the 3rd century BC, first it was a ritual to honor the gods and seek protection and rainfalls for cultivation. It was then transformed into the current Dalada PErahera in the 4th century to honor the Sacred Tooth Relic and the guardian gods of Buddhism.

The colorful event consists of various types of dancers, drummers, fire dancers, whip dancers, and beautifully dressed elephants. The festival has three major processions, Kumbal Perahera, Randoli Perahera, and Diya Kapeema (Water Cutting Ceremony) at the Mahaweli River at Getambe temple. The festival is a unique identity of Sri Lanka and a must-see event.

The tradition of Dalada Perahera, which was based on Buddhist respect and kindness, combined with rituals of Devala, prioritizing the ultimate humanity. The Kandy Esala Perahera Casket which is considered as living Lord Buddha who parades the streets is worshipped by the divinity, humanity, and elephants.

This is considered to be the oldest cultural event in the world and continues with its colorful, glamorous splendor making it an out-of-this-world experience.

The whole festival lasts for about sixteen days, and it is considered the unique identity of Sri Lankan culture

The Moonstone - Sri Lanka (සඳකඩ පහන)

Moonstone is a unique feature of the architecture of ancient Sri Lanka. It is an elaborately carved semi-circular stone slab, usually placed at the bottom of staircases and entrances. The moonstones show the highest level of creativity and the most highly ornate ones have generally been dated to the 8th-10th centuries, towards the latter half of the Anuradhapura era

The sculptural design, in its main features, consists of a half lotus in the center, surrounded by concentric bands of a row of geese, a foliated pattern, and a procession of animals.

In most of the richer moonstones of the Anuradhapura Era, the outer edge is designed with a ring of flames and below that is a ring filled with 4 types of animals – The elephant, the horse, the lion, and the bull chasing each other. Some moonstones show these beasts in their own semicircular band. The next is a semi-circle of a creeper with a wavy stem with foliage (“liyawela”). Next is a line of swans with a twig of flowers and a leaf on their mouth. Next is again a floral pattern and at the center is a lotus with petals all around the semi-circle on the moonstone

The moonstone depicts some aspects of life, with the different concentric bands, that need to be conquered in order to attain the ultimate spiritual goal. The outermost band of the moonstone shows the styled flames and symbolizes desire. The next band shows a procession of animals and symbolizes the four sorrow of life.

Animals that are carved onto the surface and their representations are, the elephant symbolizes birth, the lion represents illness, the horse represents aging and the bull symbolizes death.

This band of animals shows the endless cycle of rebirths or Samsara, the ultimate goal of Buddhists. The entangling life force is represented by the twisting creepers, the band-carved inner ward of the animals. The purity is represented by the geese of the next band, and the lotus buds in the beaks symbolize wisdom and discrimination.

The center of the moonstone is occupied by the lotus flower, the sacred flower of Buddhists which symbolizes Nirvana. The lotus flower is given a prominent place in the Sinhala-Buddhist society and can be seen in architecture, Sri Lanka arts, and literature.

Aukana Budda Statue – Sri Lanka.

The Aukana Buddha Statue is one of the greatest monuments in Sri Lanka and is a popular tourist attraction in the country. Built during the reign of King Dhatusena, the statue was carved out of a cliff during the 5th century and is nearly free-standing except for a narrow piece of rock connecting it to the cliff.

This statue is one of the best examples of a standing statue built in Sri Lanka and the statue is considered to be one the best examples of a standing statue of the Buddha from ancient Sri Lanka.

It depicts a variation of the Abhaya mudra, and the closely worn robe is elaborately carved.

While the artist of this magnificent work of art is still unknown, there is a generally accepted belief that this statue was the result of a competition between a Master Sculptor (guru) and his pupil (gola). That the competition had royal blessing is clear, and this legend is supported by the fact that in nearby Sasseruwa stands a similar standing Buddha statue, which has not been completed.

The splendor of the Aukana is not only its size but all the more its beauty and its technical perfection. Locals say, that on a rainy day droplets of water falling off the tip of the Buddha's nose hit the ground exactly between the toes, proving the accuracy of the sculptor.

The Aukana Buddha is a masterpiece of fine arts, too. Particularly the robe is noteworthy. Its delicate carving reveals the underlying form of the Buddha’s body.

As in the case of many other Buddha statues, the body seems to be neither male nor female. In accordance with the South Indian Amaravati style, the robe in single groves is draped over the left shoulder to fall over the left shoulder up to the ankle, whereas the right shoulder is left bare. From the Buddha’s curled hair there sprouts the flame called Siraspata signifying supreme enlightenment.

The Aukana Buddha Statue shows an otherwise rarely seen gesture called Asisa Mudra (Ashisha Mudra), which is indicating both blessing and pointing in a direction. Asisa Mudra is only shown by standing Buddha statues. Most of the Buddhas in Asisa Mudra are from Sri Lanka, this gesture is not found in Northern India or other parts of Asia. But some examples of Asisa Mudra are known from South India’s Amaravati art, too.

Delicious Banana – Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka has a long history as one of the finest fruits produces in the world. Among all, Sri Lanka is famous for top-quality bananas.

The earliest written reference to bananas in Sri Lankan history goes back to about 341 A.D. the time of King Buddhadasa who is reputed to have been a skilled physician. The king had recorded in his Sarartha Sangragaha, the medicinal values of various parts of the banana plant. There is also evidence that the prehistoric inhabitants of the island, over 12,000 years ago had eaten wild bananas. The seed remains of ati-eta kesel which had been found in a carbonized state in the stone-age cave sites of Batadombalena in the Ratnapura District prove the long existence of bananas in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is home to many varieties of Banana which comes in different shapes, colors, sizes, textures, and flavors. Bananas grow freely all over Sri Lanka, all year round. They are cultivated in large, medium, and small orchards, as well as home gardens. Therefore, bananas are readily available fruit in the country.

Banana is a super fruit rich in nutrition. Being rich in potassium and many other vitamins, bananas can consider natural energy bars. Bananas are high in potassium, a mineral that promotes heart health and normal blood pressure. One medium-sized banana contains around 0.4 grams of this mineral.

Heart disease is the world’s most common cause of premature death. According to a large analysis of many studies, daily consumption of 1.3–1.4 grams of potassium is linked to a 26% lower risk of heart disease. In addition, bananas contain antioxidant flavonoids also associated with a significant decrease in heart disease risk

Traditional Ayurveda Wellness - Sri Lanka.

One of the oldest types of treatment and therapy in the world, Ayurveda – derived from Sanskrit terms for existence (ayuh) and knowledge or science (Veda) – emerged in India over 3,000 years ago and spread quickly to Sri Lanka. And the Sinhalese kings further modified the treatment methods, combining Hela Wedakama, a treatment practice native to Sri Lanka, and founded Ayurveda treatment centers in the historical sites of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa.
In Ayurveda, a mixture of plants, food, massage, hydrotherapy, and oil massage is used to cure anything from depression to diabetes, migraine, asthma, inflammation, and hypertension. Ayurveda experts will inform you that this type of therapy often helps improve the immune system, encourages a general feeling of well-being, and even helps to slow the aging process.
Specialized instructors and competent staff are located in every luxurious hotel to fulfill the needs of guests, from Ayurveda body massages to Ayurveda herbal baths, and Ayurveda steam baths. Some of these Ayurveda resorts have “beheth oru” going back to ancient times, able to immerse the person in a boat lined with herbs and medicinal herbs to revitalize, renew and cure the body.

Star Fort – Matara. Sri Lanka.

The Star Fort was built to an unique shape of an six pointed star with space for 12 large cannons to cover approaches from all directions. The fort was surrounded by an deep moat and was built to hold a small garrison, food supplies and enough ammunition. It also had a two prison cells and a well in the centre to supply water. On the arch of the main entrance the year 1765 is embossed (year of construction) along with the VOC emblem and the coat of arms of Governor Van Eck
This is said to be the last major defence post built by the Dutch and was never had the chance to prove its effectiveness. The fort was handed over to the British with the surrender of the Sri Lankan territory by them. The British used it as a residence for government officials and as a library until recently. Currently it houses a museum and the fort has been restored to a great extent to show its ancient glory.
