A VISIT TO A FAIR

It was the famous Sunday fair at Gonagala junction .My mother always makes it a point to visit this fair in order to buy the village products. Last Sunday I too accompanied her to see this exciting market. There were such a lot of vendors both men and women on either side of the road leading to this fair, seated with the fresh vegetables and fruits brought from their own villages. There were rare kinds of fruits and leaves which had medicinal value.

The place was crowded with people and there was not enough space to move. Vendors were shouting and inviting customers to their stalls. There were fish,meat,vegetables ,fruits, pots and ornaments, ice cream etc.....The place was a hive of activity. It created the true picture of a typical village market.

SIGIRIYA

Sigiriya is a very famous place in Sri Lanaka. Known as 'LION ROCK'. It is a large, tall rock that rises about 200 meters above the ground. Long ago, a king named Kashyapa built a place on top of this rock. The name 'SIGIRIYA' comes from the big lion statue that was once at the entrance of the place. Even though the statue is gone now, you can still see the lion's paws, which are very big and carved into the rock. Once of the most interesting parts of Sigiriya is the paintings, or frescoes, on the rock. These paintings show women holding flowers. Sigiriya is special not just because of its beauty, but also because of how it was built. Visitors today can climb the rock to see the rules of the place and enjoy the amazing view from the top. 💪💫
