Sri Padaya



          Sri pada is a sacred mountain in Sri Lanka. One of the few places where followers of the world's four major religions congregate is the mountain of Sri Pada. The mountain rises to a height of 7,360 feet and is located in the Rathnapura district. Even though it is only one of the two tallest mountains, it rises majestically by itself, has a conical shape, and provides an unhindered view of both land and sea. Buddha made three trips to Sri Lanka, according to the famous history book of Sri Lanka, the Mahawamsa. The Solosmasthana of Sri Lanka is where he traveled last, from Kelaniya through Sri Pada and finally to Digavaphi. According to legend, Buddha accepted the invitation of the Deity Saman and imprinted his footprint on the mountain's summit rock (Saman Deviyo).

 

       There are species of animals and plants unique to Lanka. There are many ways to mountain of Sri Pada. Hatton Road, Ratnapura Road and Kuruwita Road are the main roads. Kuruwita Road is also known as Jungle Road. The journey here is very difficult but beautiful. Apart from this, there etc.are many roads like Maliboda road, Sadagalathanna road etc. Siripa is a journey we all must take.

          As a branch of Ananda College Colombo, an English secondary school was established at Pannipitiya in 1940. The name of this new institution was Dharmapala Vidyalaya.

Colombo City

Image
  Colombo is the capital city of Sri Lanka. And the country’s largest city in terms of population. It is a fascinating city located on the west coast and with a stunning harbor surrounded by white sandy beaches. A network of canals at the center of the magnificent 160-acre Beira Lake defines Colombo. While pursuing their degree, it is the perfect place for students to immerse themselves in a wealth of culture, history and entertainment opportunities. 2,000 years ago, Arab traders established themselves in Colombo, beginning the city's long history. The city has traditionally been a desirable trading port because of its significant natural harbor and fields of tropical plants and spices. Most of today's five-star hotels are located in the area around the fort, where Portuguese explorers first set foot in 1505. They quickly gained control of much of the coast. The Brookings Institution estimates that 752,993 people live in the Municipality of the Colombo Metropolitan Area, whic...

One of my favourite musician (Yanni)

Image
     Yanni, whose full name is Yanni Chryssomallis, was a prominent role in the development of New Age music in the latter half of the 20th century. New Age music is a typically unrousing subgenre of popular music that is frequently totally instrumental and used for relaxation or meditation.       Greek parents encouraged Yanni Chryssomallis to pursue music as a child, but they under no circumstances put any pressure on him to do so. He was raised in a middle-class family. He never imagined that he would eventually pursue music as a career; at the moment, he just enjoyed making songs. He competed for the Greek national swimming team while he was a teenager, breaching the age limit for the freestyle at 14. He moved to the United States at the age of 18 to enroll in the University of Minnesota, where he earned a psychology degree before graduating in 1976. He didn't start concentrating on music till after graduation.      The instrumental album...
