#Anuradhapura
After #Anuradhapura, I spent a few days in #Dambulla, using it as a base to explore key sites of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle.

My first stop was the #CaveTemple, a series of #Buddhist caves covered in wall paintings, with beautiful views over Sri Lanka’s lush green landscape.

Set on Sri Lanka’s north-central plains, Anuradhapura was the island’s first great capital. Today, it remains one of the most sacred cities in the Buddhist world.

After #Colombo, #Anuradhapura was my next stop in #SriLanka.

Once the ancient capital, home to the sacred Bodhi Tree and massive stupas.

The city is important… but it didn’t really surprise me.
A few days later, #Polonnaruwa would.

Mycelium to Miyawaki forests at India Art Fair 2026

Mycelium to Miyawaki forests at India Art Fair 2026
Dumiduni Illangasinghe has always been “very serious about mushrooms” — just not in the way you’d imagine a 29-year-old to be. From the rain-washed fields of Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka where she grew up, to the forests of the Banaras Hindu University where she is currently studying, the artist has made the fungi her primary subject of observation. In the fragility and endurance of mycelial networks, she reads metaphysical lessons: specifically the Buddhist concept of “anitya” or impermanence.

Had there been a star system to reflect their quality, if that is the right word, similar to the one that we have in Europe, those that I had visited might appear in guidebooks as follows:

The itinerary formally prepared by Joe Siriwardena, and approved by Robert Everest, included time visiting the historic ruins of Anuradhapura, something we undertook immediately after breakfast. I was at first somewhat surprised that any tourism might be permitted in the course of official travel.

He was right, and I did just that, continuing on to Anuradhapura in a rather sombre mood.
