Book launch of Jathaka tales by Indian High Commission
View(s):The High Commission of India in Colombo this week launched the Sinhala translations of 5 Jathaka tales published and translated by India’s largest comic book publisher, Amar Chitra Katha on the occasion of Navam Full Moon Poya day at the Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya.
These books are aimed at connecting students of Dhamma with the message of the Buddha in an engaging and accessible medium. The books were well received by the audience including the hundreds of Sunday school students in participation.
In addition to the book launch, the High Commission also hosted the second edition of the ‘Buddham Sharanam Gacchami’ mobile exhibition at Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya.
Curated by the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi, this exhibition presents a distinguished collection of paintings illustrating key episodes from the life of Lord Buddha, as well as other important Buddhist teachings. The exhibition will be showcased at various Buddhist temples across the country on each Poya day throughout the year.
Both the launch of the Jathaka tales comic books and the exhibition are a continuation of the efforts by the High Commission of India to promote Buddhist values and the shared heritage.
These initiatives further reinforce the longstanding cultural and religious links between the people of India and Sri Lanka while fostering a deeper understanding of Buddhist art and culture.
