Seeta amman temple
More than 80% of the current population
Hanuman ji
of Sri Lanka are Buddhist and follow
that religion (you can see many big and
small Statues Of Buddha with a stupa like
white structure behind it all along the city
and Country roads) next come Muslims,
Christians, and a miniscule of Hindus.
Religious tourism apart - Sri Lanka is
a beautiful country and has plenty to
offer from cool hilly regions to sun kissed
beaches, green and winding country roads
to sprawling tea garden estates, aromatic
spice forests to huge botanical gardens,
flanked will lakes and what not. Elephant
orphanages to conservatory turtle farms,
spectacular mask dances of colourful
costumes of the local people to gemstone
mines (specially sapphire) and beautifully
crafted handicrafts, good hotels and mouth-
watering sea food for the wanting and much
Hanumanji’s foot impression more for the enthusiastic explorer.
