It Happens Only In Sri Lanka...

I went one of ma best friends' wedding yesterday!! It was in Taj and they had arranged all the things according to Buddhist rituals...
So i thought it's better to write something about the poruwa ceremony...
actually i don't even know much about that...
anyway here goes....
Of the many traditional events that take place during the Buddhist wedding, the ‘Poruwa’ ceremony is the most important. Therefore it is strictly guided by "Nekath".

The Poruwa Ceremony appears to have existed in Sri Lanka before the introduction of Buddhism in the 3rd Century B.C.

It was as valid custom as a registered marriage until the British introduced the registration of marriages by Law in 1870. Today's Poruwa Ceremony has been influenced by both upcountry and low country customs of Sri Lanka.

Getting married in Sri lankan Style is a life time experience. Compared to anywhere in the world, Sri Lanka is famous for long lasting marriages.
Present day society also have realized the value of their heritage!they have proved it yesterday!!

Happy wedded life ma friend!!!

You are correct... "It Happens Only In Sri Lanka..." And I think it is the only thing that there's a true meaning when it comes to overspending Sri Lankan weddings.

Photography..!!!

Sir John Herschel,he was the one who first used the term in 1839.That is the year the photographic process became public."PHOTOGRAPHY" is derived from the Greek words for light("phos") and writing/paint brush ("graphis"). There are two distinct scientific processes that combine to make photography possible. The first of these processes was optical.The second process was chemical. Photography is so useful for human beings....Scientists have used photography to record and study.Security forces use photography for recognition and data storage. Specially Photography is used to preserve memories of favorites and as a source of entertainment. finally i want to mention this as well... U cannot be a photographer as soon as u get a camera...u need a creative eye to capture the view through the camera... mhhh.... i don't know whether i have that creativeness or not coz still i don't have a camera..... :( Like to be a Photographer...!!! Have a nice day.. frie
