Sri Lanka: The Land of Hospitality

Sri Lanka is known for its beautiful beaches, lush green hills, and ancient ruins. But there's another reason why so many people love visiting this island nation: its hospitality.

Sri Lankans are known for their warm and welcoming nature. They are always happy to help out a stranger, and they go out of their way to make guests feel comfortable. This hospitality is evident in all aspects of Sri Lankan life, from the way people interact with each other in everyday situations to the way they treat tourists.

One of the best ways to experience Sri Lankan hospitality is to stay in a local homestay. This is a great way to get to know the local culture and people, and to learn about their way of life. Homestay hosts are always happy to share their stories and traditions with guests, and they will make sure you have a memorable stay.

If you're looking for a truly authentic Sri Lankan experience, then a homestay is the way to go. You'll be treated like family, and you'll leave with a warm feeling in your heart.

SANDAKADAH PAHANA.

Sandakada pahana, also known as Moon-stone, is a unique feature of the Sinhalese architecture of ancient Sri Lanka. It is an elaborately carved semi-circular stone slab, usually placed at the bottom of staircases and entrances. First seen in the latter stage of the Anuradhapura period, the sandakada pahana evolved through the Polonnaruwa, Gampola and Kandy period. According to historians, the sandakada pahana symbolises the cycle of Saṃsārain Buddhism.

Nowdays this great creation use as A Deco attached to the stairs at the entrance of the places.

Mihintale is a mountain peak near Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. It is believed by Sri Lankans to be the site of a meeting between the Buddhist monk Mahinda and King Devanampiyatissa which inaugurated the presence of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It is now a pilgrimage site, and the site of several religious monuments and abandoned structures. . .

Why Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated? . . Indian intervention in the Sri Lankan Civil War saw a reversal of Indian foreign policy and the large scale horrors to Sri Lankan Tamils by the IPKF(Indian Peace Keeping Forces). IPKF killed Innocent Srilankan Tamils and did lot of atrocities in Eelam and Rajiv Gandhi asked LTTE(Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) to surrender all their weapons and after this Lankan army brutally killed Tamils again. This made LTTE Supremo Prabhakaran angry and he took revenge. Another big reason was the Indo-Sri lanka Accord of 1987. Parbhakaran was totally against this accord. In an interview Rajiv Gandhi said he would send the IPKF in Sri lanka again if he comes in the power again. He also defended his decision to sign India Sri Lanka peace accord. So that's why LTTE decided to assassinate him. Dhanu, a woman suicide-bomber mixed in the crowd in an election rally tries to get close to Rajiv and garlands him and then bends down to touch his feet. As he in turn bends to raise her up, she triggers the bomb. The Bomb blast takes place and Rajiv Gandhi got killed instantly. This incident took place on 21st May 1991 at Sriperumbudur near Tamil Nadu capital Chennai. . .
