Anuradhapura
Named as a UNESCO World Heritage site, being the gravitational pull of Theravada Buddhism for many centuries and today one of the most ancient cities and one of the bases of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, Anuradhapura still emits its splendour with an air of holiness as it reminisces its glorifying days for being the stepping stone to Buddhism in Sri Lanka.
This sacred city, being one of South Asia’s most powerfully evocative cities, is favoured not only being a holy attraction but also for its highly complex irrigation systems which marvels today’s scientists for as to the technology and talent used in the ancient world.
Now as it remains mainly as ruins, its serenity and tranquillity which seems to still echo the prayers and hopes of numerous worshipers and believers have left their hand prints upon this city. In Anuradhapura, ancient places are just waiting to be discovered!
