Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle

Bishop Kumara Illangasinghe of the Diocese of Kurunagala, Sri Lanka, has arranged for and given me the opportunity to visit the top archaelogical sites in Sri Lanka, including Sigiriya. The other sites include Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Kandy, Nalanda, Medirigiriya, Ritigala, Dambulla. Sigiriya is (somewhat) equivelant to Mochu Pichu, but is more of one single palace hewn into a monolith.

The Diocese of Kurunagala contains the "Cultural Triangle" and so visiting these sites is an important gift from the Bishop. I am very appreciative.

I have scanned the tickets, which I hope will give you an idea. I will try to post the pictures as well, and will let you know in the coming month !
