Stupa in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka

Anuradhapura is Sri Lanka's temple capital: Not only is Anuradhapura famous for the temple ruins of the ancient city, but is also home to many more modern temples located closer to modern Anuradhapura. I was lucky to be visiting Sri Lanka on full moon day, which is a public holiday in Sri Lanka. It was fascinating to watch how thousands of Sri Lankan Buddhists dressed in white gathered around the temples.
