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. 👩👨👧👦
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. 💛💨😯


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.
