A History of the Island of Sri Lanka
2008-03-27 15:29:00 “To me the beauty of Ceylon lies not so much in its blue seas and golden beaches, its jungles and its mountain peaks, as in its ancient atmosphere. There is no nation, from Egypt of the Pharaohs to modern Britain, in whose literature this island has not at some time been mentioned by one or ...

Kandy – Sri Lanka
2008-03-16 09:26:00 Kandy Lake with the Temple of the ToothPopulation: 700,000Area Code: (+94) 8Climate: Tropical; average temperatures: 31C/88F – 17C/63F (Jan-Mar); 29C/84F – 21C/70F (May-Aug); 28C/82F – 18C/64F (Sep-Dec).For over two hundred years it was the defiant last capital of the kings of Sri Lanka. It thwarted the Portuguese before finally succumbing to British rule in 1815. Reclining serenely beside an artificial lake on the wooded lower slopes of the Hill Country after which it was christened, Kandy became a religious center during the 13th or 14th century and a political one following the decline of Plonnaruwa. Gracious residences for the hillside in a sea of greenery on the south shore of the lake. Centred on the moated pink Dalada Maligawa, the 16th-century Temple of the Tooth – the island’s most sacred relic – Kandy feels like a Sri Lankan Kyoto. Here and in the surrounding villages the ancient skills of dancing, music, handicrafts and all that is most deeply traditional in t...

Kandy House - Kandy, Sri Lanka
2008-03-04 16:19:00 LUXURY BOUTIQUE HOTEL | 3 DELUXE ROOMS | 3 SUPER DELUXE ROOMS | 3 ULTRA DELUXE ROOMS The Kandy House is a carefully-renovated old colonial ‘Walauwa’ (colonial mansion) in the spice-growing hills that surround Kandy. Its completion heralded what the hill-country-capital has been waiting for so long: a brilliant small boutique hotel capable of offering stylish and private accommodation and attentive personal service in a beautiful natural setting. The inspired refurbishment of the ‘Walauwa’, with its white interiors, polished hardwood floorboards, jackwood staircase, Dutch-style antique furniture and careful injections of colour, has been a triumph. Channa Daswatta, one of renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffery Bawa’s protégés and Sri Lanka’s leading modern day architect, provided the creative inspiration. The bedrooms are unquestionably the finest in Kandy. The freshwater infinity pool in the garden provides an irresistible opportunity to unw...
Chaaya Citadel - Kandy, Sri Lanka
2008-02-29 17:29:00 FOUR AND HALF STAR LUXURY HOTEL | 24 DELUXE SUITES | 97 SUPERIOR ROOMS Why the King of Kandy kept coming back here. Chaaya Citadel Kandy is constructed in the place of the former Dunuvila Wallauwa (The ancestral home of the Dunivila family). Dunuvila, one of the King’s Ministers, lived here with his extended family. And, as the legend goes the King of Kandy would make it a point to break journey at this very location whenever he passed by in his boat. It is said that he did not simply stop to rest, but to bathe in the river and spend some time at the Wallauwa. An old family photograph of the original Wallauwa still hangs at the entrance to the hotel. The legend doesn’t tell us what attracted the King to this very spot again and again. We can only imagine. But the fact that the Sovereign kept coming back is possibly the same reason why guests keep coming back to Chaaya Citadel. For rest and rejuvenation. For romance and adventure. For nature and inspiration. On the hist...

2007-12-03 11:08:00 I wonder if Murali will get a gig on Kath and Kim now that he has finally overhauled Shane Warne? Paul Collingwood the unlucky batsman, out for 45 in Murali's home town of Kandy. I wonder if the locals noticed? Next milestone probably heading for 1000 test wickets. Bring on Bangladesh and Zimbabwe and it may happen in the next five years.

Dalada Maligawa ? the History
2007-02-22 17:56:00 Undoubtedly, it is the most venerated place of worship of the Sri Lankan Buddhists. One of the major tourist attractions in Sri Lanka and one of the most valuable treasures we have amongst us as it captures the detailed history and culture of Sri Lanka for more than 16 centuries. The story behind the tooth relic of the Lord Buddha runs back to the time of his passing away. Several texts written with regard to the tooth relic provides ample information about these interesting stories behind the incidents that took place after his demise. After the final rituals of the Lord Buddha, his remains were distributed to different parts of the Indian sub continent and the neighboring regions as relics to be honored by his followers, normally building monuments named ?stupas? where these remains were enshrined. Among these relics, the four canine teeth of the Lord Buddha were distributed into four regions, according to the texts, one to the sakra (king of gods), one to the nagas, one to ...
