Polonnaruwa๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’“

Image
                I was born in Polonnaruwa. Polonnaruwa is a historical and sacred place. There are many places to see in Polonnaruwa. People come from almost everywhere to visit Polonnaruwa. My village is full of tourists. I never hesitate to call my village Polonnaruwa. People say that Polonnaruwa is a difficult region, but if you look at the places to see here, no one will say that there are none. That's why I'm posting about places to visit in Polonnaruwa on this blog.  When you arrive in Polonnaruwa, the first thing you see is the Minneri Lake. Minneri Lake is a very beautiful place. I also published a separate blog about Minneri Lake. Minneri Lake is a very beautiful and special Lake.                               Then we find the Girithale Lake. The Girithale Lake is the same. There is also a beautiful Buddha statue near the Girithale Lake. This is also a very be...

Anuradhapura๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™

Image
                                                            That day was the Anuradhapura perahera. I was participating in the Anuradhapura Perahera to dance.  ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™  We were going to dance in the Anuradhapura Perahera, so we went to Anuradhapura early in the morning with the children who were going to dance in the Perahera.  ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™  Went to Sri Maha Bodhi and paid homage. We went to the Atamasthana, including Ruwanweli Seya. We were able to see it all because we went early. Since it was late afternoon, I ate lunch and got dressed for the perahera. These are some photos we took after we got ready.  ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™                                                     This is my first time danc...

My hair๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘€

Image
                  I have curly hair. I didn't like my hair when I was little. But since everyone who saw me said my hair was beautiful, I stared to see my hair as beautiful too.  ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘€  I love my curly hair now. People who see me ask if my hair is fake hair. But this is my natural hair. I prayed to have beautiful hair like this. I think I'm a lucky girl. This is my curly hair.   ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘€                                                               People say I have hair like noodles. I want to grow my hair a little longer. But my hair isn't growing.  ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘€    But I love my curly hair. Not only me, my mother also loves my hair very much. My mother's hair is like this. Maybe because she has hair like that, I can have hair like this too. I got this hair ...

Minneri Lake๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’–

Image
                    The most beautiful place in my village is Minneri Lake. Minneri Lake was built by king Mahasen. Very free near Minneri Lake. There is a temple near the Minneri Lake.  ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’–  We go to Minneri Lake during our free time. One day we all had lunch by the lake and then took a bath. We bathed in the lake. We ate ice cream at a nearby shop and stayed by the lake until evening. In the evening, we boarded a boat and went to see the beauty of the lake.  ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’–                                                       That journey was very peaceful. A free environment. Beautiful place. The birds are chirping, the sun is setting, it's so beautiful.  ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’–  I can stay by the lake anytime. Minneri Lake is a very beautiful place. Elephants come to the lake in the evening. So I need to...

Vesak poya๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜‡

Image
                                                      I wanted to talk about the 2025 Vesak Poya. It was a beautiful day when my mother and I went on a motorcycle ride with another group near our house. We left early in the morning. First, we went to see the Girithale Lake. Below is a photo I took with the group after we got there, ate ice cream, and stared at the lake for a while.                                                 Then we went to the Polonnaruwa Gal Viharaya, walked around to see the sights inside, and came out. A alms giving ceremony was held at the Polonnaruwa Gal Vihara. After that, we ate and went to see the Manampitiya Bridge.                        ...

Somawathi Procession๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ˜

Image
                                              Somavathi is a sacred place where the right canine tooth relic of the Buddha is enshrined.  ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ˜  Somavathi is a sacred place that we love to visit. It is great blessing that the Somavathiya shrine is located in my hometown. The Somavathiya Procession is held once a year. Last year, we went to Somavathiya to watch the Procession.  ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ˜                                                                                            We had decided to have noodles. So we made noodles at home and went to Somavathi in a van. After bathing in the river, I went to the Somavathi pagoda....

Corn๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒป

Image
                     My favorite food is corn.  ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒป  If someone asked me what my favorite food was, the only answer I could give would be corm. My family and friends know it's my favorite food. That's why my friends, every time you go somewhere and eat corn, take a photo and send it to me. They know that I like corn very much. No matter how much corn bring me, I won't get tired of it. I love to eat that much corn.                                                It has become a habit to eat corn on the cob if you see it on the road when you go somewhere. If I get a corn on the cob, I don't even know who is around. I'm so fascinated by that food that I eat it. Mother says, " if you give me some corn, I will take you to Jaffna." I guess I'm not that mindful. Corn is a religion. I am a strong believer in that...
