A mountain stream, Alupola.
A peaceful mountain stream where all the cares and worries of a rushed life could be shed. One could listen to the sound of running water and feel the cool breeze on the body and be transported to another world where time stands still.

'Natha Devale, Kandy.
The archeological excavations around the 'Maligawa Complex' in Kandy has found evidence of worship at the Natha Devale site from the early Centuries of the Present Era. This is a picture of the 'Natha Dewale' as seen from the 'Dalda Maligawa'. Natha, Vishnu, Skanda and Vinayaga have temples for worship in Kandy from very early times, predating the Dalada Maligawa.

This building is the 'Audience Hall' of the last King of Kandy. The King received ambassadors to the court in this building. The Kandyan Convention ceding the Kandyan Kingdom to the British was signed here. In the 1960s the Supreme Court held its sessions here. Now it is a protected site.
