  Books are friends who never leave your side. I find this saying to be very true as books have always been there for me. I enjoy   reading books . They have the power to help us travel through worlds without moving from our places. In addition, books also enhance our imagination. Growing up, my parents and teachers always encouraged me to read. They taught me the importance of reading. Subsequently, I have read several books. However, one boom that will always be my favourite is Harry Potter. It is one of the most intriguing reads of my life. I have read all the books of this series, yet I read them again as I never get bored of it. Harry Potter Series Harry Potter was a series of books authored by one of the most eminent writers of our generation, J.K. Rowling. These books showcase the wizarding world and its workings. J.K.

         The history of Sri Lanka has often been associated with Buddhism.  Hela culture mixed with Buddhism can be called the culture of not only Sinhala Buddhists but of all Sri Lankans.  But unaware of this, extremists often attempt to destroy archeological monuments that reflect Buddhist history and seize the land.  ⁇  Devanagala, Muhudu Maha Viharaya, Vijithapura are some of them which have been the subject of much controversy in recent times.  The Kuragala Archaeological Site, located at the end of the Ratnapura District, is another ancient site that has been heavily influenced by these extremists.  Various Buddhist organizations, societies and companies as well as monks spoke on behalf of Kuragala.  But this extremism did not stop there. Kuragala is a place of worship that has been a Buddhist place of worship since before the early Anuradhapura period.  In the days of the ancient kings, it was known as 'Thanduleyaya...

 Anyway, I'm the only one who thinks this's something mysterious.  This Dikkanda Walawwa is located on the Yakkala Kirindiwela 231 road between Dikkanda and Wathurugama.  About 6 miles from Yakkala town you will come across Dikkanda Junction.  Starting from Dikkanda Junction, this large estate stretches for more than a kilometer up to Watarugama Pinwatta Junction. This is a 330 acre coconut estate and the fence continues until it reaches Pinwatta Junction.  This palace is located on the hill in the middle of the garden.  This palace is not visible at the foot of the estate or on 231 Road or anywhere around it.  It is very difficult to see the palace due to the large coconut groves and other trees.  However, if you look closely, you can barely see the palace.  But k.  M.  About 4 miles away.  It can also be seen in Maligathenna and Pettangala Kanda. At present part of this estate is maintained as a poultry farm.  Rumor has...
