The Sacred City of Anuradhapura

The Sacred City of Anuradhapura / Sri Lanka

Anuradhapura is a world famous city lying in Sri Lanka. Lots of local and foreign  devotees come to Anuradhapura everyday. πŸ‘©πŸ‘¨πŸ‘§πŸ‘¦
Normally, I and my family members visit Anuradhapura around once in two months. The other thing is we don't go on Poya Days, because of the crowd. But on last Poya Day we visited Anuradhapura. Actually, there are no such a crowd that we expected.
 
Early morning, around 2.00A.M ,  we started the journey and around 4.00A.M , we could reach Anuradhapura. 
First of all we went to a rest house and took a wash and ready. Then we moved to The 'Ruwanweliseya'. Actually, I have no words to explain the feelings,  That comes when go to the Maha Seya in early morning. πŸ’›πŸ’¨πŸ˜―


So, then we worshiped the Seya and sat on a place that on such a crowd. Then we started chanting Pirith. Somehow, we moved from 'Maha Seya' to 'Sri Maha Bodhi' around 6.00A.M. Then we worshiped the 'Sri Maha Bodhi' until 8.00 A.m. 

Because of the Poya day, there are so many milk rice danssl.  Then we ate milk rice and leave from there. Most days we only worship 'Sri Maha Bodhi' and 'Ruwanwelisaya'. But that day we worshiped also 'Thuparamaya', 'Lankaramaya', 'Abhayagiriya', 'Mirisawetiya', 'Jethawanaramaya' , and 'Isurumuniya'.

Then we found also a dansal for our lunch. Somehow, we ended our journey around 3.00P.M and leave from Anuradhapura. 

So , I recomand you to visit Anuradhapura, though you are a Buddhist or not. Because there are no ban for people other than Buddhist to go there.

Lunch in a Mat

           Lunch in a Mat It was a Sinha-Hindu Aluth Avurudu day. Our home is next to our uncle's home. So after doing rituals, we were used to move there. So that day Avurudu rituals were ended around 10.00 a.m. Our youngest sister made on idea for a out door lunch in a mat. Finally her idea was succeed. My two elder sisters, two younger sisters and me helped our mothers to prepare meals.    crazy me   Finally we prepared a very delicious meal for our lunch then we carried meal pots to the mat. Then we enjoyed our lunch with very joy. Actually  that experience was very funny. Though, it was a new experience for us, Muslims have their meal always that way. I mean by sitting on the floor.                                                                      ...

So, we visited there and took lots of photos by walking everywhere. πŸ˜‚Because that is the only one thing, that can do with out money at there.  Then we moved to the gamming zone. Actually, I had tried that game another day before that day. It means already I had wasted 100 rupee for that game. 😐But I couldn't win.
