Ancient cultures, dazzling festivals, lush tea plantations and topographical diversity describe Sri Lanka, the teardrop shaped island suspended 30 miles off the southeast coast of India. Formerly Ceylon, the country is a study in contrasts and also is in conflict between the predominately Buddhist Sinhalese majority and largely Hindu Tamil minority. Some of Asia s most significant archeological sites have been unearthed, a cultural triangle encompassing three ancient capitals, once home to tens of thousands. Discover wall paintings of beautiful maidens, still smiling after 1,500 years in a sheltered grotto. Explore Asia s oldest surviving landscape gardens. And, marvel at the colossal images of Buddha. In Kandy, an exuberant festival, with rules of conduct dating back to 1318, venerates the treasured tooth relic said to belong to Buddha. This annual Esala Perahera spectacle assaults your senses with a barrage of color and sounds, flaming torches, drummers and dancers, costumed children and caparisoned elephants. Follow a botanist s dream from the formidable Horton Plains at 7,000 feet to the tropical Sinharaja Forest Reserve. This is a World Heritage Site where wandering under a cathedral of trees you find yourself in a living lab for many of Sri Lanka s endemic species. The magnificent south coast is distinctly different with its sandy terrain and nearby Yala National Wildlife Park, the last stop on your Sri Lankan odyssey, a true study in contrasts.

The Field Guide to the Birds of Sri Lanka is the first fully comprehensive, modern field guide to this ornithologically fascinating country. All of Sri Lanka's 426 official avian species are described in the text and depicted in 48 stunning new colour plates painted by Tim Worfolk, one of Britain's leading bird artists. The text, accessible to both experienced ornithologists and beginners, highlights the important identification features, such as plumage variations, size, calls and songs, range, distribution, and status, for every species. The plates illustrate the various plumage variations for each bird, and show the birds perched and also in flight, where relevant to their identification. An introduction to the guide describes briefly some of the best sites for watching Sri Lanka's abundant avifauna, and provides useful contact addresses for the prospective traveller. This will be an essential purchase for all birdwatchers travelling to the region; the beautiful plates and clearly-written text will also make it a must-have for anyone who loves birds, and Sri Lankan birds in particular.

A Dutch colonial villa, a tree house over-looking a riverbank, a renovated manor, a 1930s Art Deco chalet—an enchanting portrait of Sri Lanka's faded grandeur, modern vision, and timeless beauty.

The ancients called it the Island of Serendipity. Since 1972, it has been Sri Lanka, the "auspicious" (Sri) island to which King Lanka eloped with Rama's beautiful wife in the 2000-year-old Hindu epic. Through the centuries, Muslim traders, the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the British were drawn to rule this magical tropical island just off the southeast coast of the Indian subcontinent.

Today in Sri Lanka one finds buildings of simple elegance and universal charisma: conversions and developments proud of the past, sensitive to present desires, prepared for the future, and displaying the best of multi-ethnic decoration with statues of the Buddha, Christian tapestries, Islamic footstalls, and Hindu sculpture. The discerning choice of houses is illustrated with over 200 color photographs of their interiors and of the breathtaking landscapes that surround them. Here are colonnaded verandas and wandering balconies, vast double doors, latticed paneling, and high ceilings.

Engaging commentaries explore the dreams behind these homes and the impact they have had on modern architecture throughout the tropics. For those searching for a hidden paradise or seeking to re-create their own, this universal style book reveals the key to designing homes and interiors deeply in harmony with their environment. 250 color illustrations.

Following 20-plus years of civil war, a cease-fire treaty has been reached between the Sinhala government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. In its attempt to ensure that the cease-fire isn't breached, the Sri Lankan army's presence is felt everyday, conveying the strange sense of a country suspended in a state of being simultaneously without war and without peace.

In a far corner of this war-torn no-man's-land, serviceman Anura (Mahendra Perera) shares a small home with his wife Latá (Nilupili Jayawardena) and his unmarried sister, Somá (Kaushalya Fernando). Anura works by day as a guardsman, sharing his post and rifle with Piyasiri (Hemasiri Liyanage), an older man who takes the night shift. On one fateful day, when the army delivers early morning, life-altering orders to Anura, Latá's frustration will mount, and Somá will retrace the tragic consequences of Piyasiri's painful past, as told to her in the guise of a little girl's fairy tale.

Poetic and haunting, this remarkable debut from director Vimukthi Jayasundara asserts a powerful new voice in filmmaking and stands as a breakthrough for Sri-Lankan cinema.

- Theatrical Trailer
- Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack

This book explores dilemmas that Buddhism faces in relation to the continuing ethnic conflict and violence in contemporary Sri Lanka. Using an interdisciplinary approach, prominent scholars in the fields of anthropology, history, Buddhist studies and Pali examine multiple dimensions of the problem. Buddhist responses to the crisis are discussed in detail, along with how Buddhism can help to create peace in Sri Lanka. Evaluating the role of Buddhists and their institutions in bringing about an end to war and violence as well as possibly heightening the problem, this collection puts forward a critical analysis of the religious conditions contributing to continuing hostilities.

Since the creation by Dammann Frères of the Crystal sachet, demanding consumers can combine all the taste and esthetic pleasures of the tea leaf with the practical aspect of the sachet.n fact, the fine grid and the transparency of this sachet, that are the result of a technical feat, allow teas to be conditioned with all the same qualities appreciated in loose teas. Since it does not shrink in water, the sachet allows the leaf free movement to steep in the cup without any constraint. Furthermore, the tea is ideally dosed, which avoids the sometimes annoying guessing game of the perfect quantity of tea to steep.

Conversations with the Veddha Driving north-east from Colombo, Daniele enters the jungle that surrounds the ancient town of Dambana. The air is thick; the humidity is oppressive. She has entered the homelands of the Veddahs the indigenous people Of Sri Lanka and the keepers of many ancient medicinal secrets. Daniele has come to meet with one particular elder a man by the name of Vanniyala Etho. He is a proud, handsome man and much in demand. To her dismay, Vanniyala gives her a short interview and then tells her that his son Bandiya will be her guide. Her disappoint is short-lived. Bandiya is a thoughtful, dedicated student of Veddah healing and knows the jungle intimately. He strides through the thick undergrowth, showing her a tree they use for fractures, a bark that is used for toothache and then to her excitement - a tree that is harvested for its blood-red sap. This precious sap is carefully apportioned to those villagers suffering a very modern condition diabetes. One of the diseases that has spread through her own Dene people. Bandiya invites Daniele to take part in a Veddah healing dance. As the handsome, long-haired dancers enact the intricate ceremony, her thoughts return to Ouma and the trance dance of the San. A warmth grows between Daniele and the young trainee healer and he tells her that his father will have an audience with her. This meeting does not turn out quite as she expected. Her questions about Veddah plants are forgotten as Vanniyala tells her the history of his people, the loss of land, pride and culture and their ongoing struggle. The very things her own Dene people have suffered from. Daniele is unable to hold back tears as Vanniyala tells her our story is one.

The chapters of Exotic Tastes of Sri Lanka are devoted to short eats (appetizers), salads, staples, vegetarian dishes, poultry, meat and egg recipes, seafood preparations, desserts, and sweetmeats (treats). An array of exotic ingredients that is key and integral to Sri Lankan cuisine enhances the dishes. For instance, gambooge, with its uniquely sour flavor, is often used in traditional seafood preparations like Fish Ambul Thiyal, while either grated coconut or coconut milk intensify most recipes, including Pumpkin Kalu Pol Curry. Local staples are delectable works of art, such as exquisite Stringhoppers, Hoppers, and Pittu.

Since the entrées revolve around the nation's favorite ingredient, rice, the loosely coined term "rice and curry" best describes Sri Lankan cuisine. Other staple ingredients include coconut (milk, oil, grated), as well as aromatic herbs and spices such as curry leaves, mint, coriander and fennel seeds, and cloves. Sri Lanka offers a particularly impressive repertoire of vegetarian and seafood preparations.

Sample menus, explanations of spice uses and availability, typical cooking techniques, and descriptions of traditional utensils complement the 157 recipes, all adapted for home cooks.
