The island - Sri Lanka is world-known for its exotic geographical
setting. It has been blessed with the sheer creativity of nature.

name of the city has been translated as the city of lights primarily
because of the glorious wonders that it comprises within its territory.
The city is replete with heart touching vistas and sights which you will

daubed in an iridescent tint for the Tamil Thai Pongal festival will
swipe you off your feet. One of the best scenes of the city includes the
dusty and misty centre of town which serves as the backdrop of the
Victorian post office featuring a classy clock tower and other
fascinating sights. This glorious city represents the colonial times
with its English country styled dwellings. The interesting Colonial and
graceful half-timbered bungalows with green hedgerows and sweet-smelling
rose gardens in the city reveal the essence of nature in its purest
forms. Not just the bungalows, even their names showcase the English
influence.
