   🙏Ruhunu Maha Katharagama Dewalaya🙏


                                    It is one of the few sacred cities in Sri Lanka and is worshiped by the majority of Sri Lankan Buddhists, a small number of Tamils, Hindus and Muslims and the indigenous Vedda people.  It is a collection of several shrines dedicated to Skanda Murukan, also known as the God of Kataragama.  For the past thousand years it has been a difficult place to reach, and today it is accessible through all climatic conditions.  Sacrifices were also made to the gods and the mosque. After 1940, the majority of pilgrims were Tamil Hindus from Sri Lanka and southern India. They barely made the pilgrimage on foot.  

                          The pilgrimage was very famous.  There are many myths and legends about God and the land, which vary according to religion, ethnic affiliation and time.  The way of worship changes with the change of the devotees and the floating festivals change due to the call of the Hindus to allow the Buddhist rituals and theology.  Archaeological and literary evidence suggests that the site has an ancient history, but the literary history of the site and the reasons for its popularity among Sri Lankans and Indians are difficult to reconstruct on the basis of mythology.  There is a conflict between Buddhists and Hindus over and about how to worship.

 🙂 Travel to Sembuwatta Lake❤️              I had heard of Sembuwatta.Sembuwatta is one of my favorite places to visit.It is located in the Matale area.I was able to visit it as I pleased.From Matale you have to climb a large mountain to reach there.            It was a very cold environment there.There was a lake built on the top of the mountain .It was a beautiful environment. On one side of the lake is a finesse forest. On the other side is a tea eastate.             Its a beautiful place with a cool climate.This beautiful place has attracted many local and foreign tourists.I am afraid that its beauty will be lost due to tourism.If so, its beauty will be lost.I was delighted to see the place around the lake.I think it's so wonderful to be able to go there again .

🙂 A remedy for stress🙂              I used to do various things to reduce the stress on my mind during busy days.Drawing can be taken as something I do to clear the mind like that.                  I'm not good at drawing images that come to my mind.I don't even have the ability to draw.I do it for mental satisfaction.Most of the time I used to watch easy pencil arts on youtube.The small arts in it draw me to the painting. It's important to clear the mind .I smile when I see some of the pictures I have drawn.In fact, they seem to be hand-drawn by someone who does not know how to draw.But I enjoy it.Drawing is a better way to forget about a really busy life.I will continue to do so for my own self-satisfaction.
