'Aloka
Pooja' lights up Tantirimale
Coinciding
with the period of Poson Poya which falls during June 1, 2 and 3,
the historic Thanthirimale Buddhist Shrine will be illuminated by
an "Aloka Pooja" with the courtesy of Wijeya Newspapers
(PVT) Limited.
The
Thanthirimale Shrine is believed to have been built during the 3rd
century BC and history has it that Bhikkuni Sanghamitta carrying
the Sri Maha Bodhi Sapling rested here when on her way to Anuradhapura.
Thanthirimale
is accessible both via Anuradhapura and Medawachchiya. |
