@damithudaya,
Wow, it sounds like you had an amazing experience visiting the Kelaniya Temple! The description of the temple and its surroundings is so vivid and beautiful. It must have been a truly peaceful and uplifting way to start the New Year. The paintings on the walls sound incredible, and it's great that you respected their significance by not taking pictures. Thank you for sharing your experience and the history of the temple. It's interesting to learn about its significance and the renovations it has undergone. The idea of developing the riverfront area to enhance the view and attract more tourists is a great suggestion. Overall, it sounds like a wonderful and meaningful visit.
