A visit to a sacred place in sri lanka

 A visit to a sacred place in sri lanka

                                  Anuradhapura is an ancient kingdom in sri lanka and it was the capital of sri lanka at pasr. Many great kings ruled Anuradhapura kingdom, so even today we can see many ruins in this city. Sacred bo tree is the heart of Anuradhapura district and it is believed as the oldest tree in the world. It brought by sangamitta thero at past. 

             


             

       Recently we visited Anuradhapura with my family members. There were many flower sellers and insence sticks sellers in front of the maingate of sacred bo tree. We bought a bunch of lotus, a packet of insence sticks and a bottle of coconut oil for offer. After  removing hats and shoes we entered to the sacred region. There were many foreigners and local tourists. There is a golden fence around  the bo tree. 

                     I felt a cold near the bo tree as the Tissa tank is close to the sacred bo tree. There were many crowd and most of them were worn white coloured costumes. Many old people were observing sit, I picked up a dried bo leaf and took several pictures by my camera. There are four doors to exit. Then we went to see Thuparamaya and many other ancient places. I saw several ruins too. In the evening we bathed in nuwara tank and finally we decided to come back home. When we were coming I sawa herd of elephant. It was an unique experience for me.
