24-years old Sandsaruwan is harvesting water lilies in the center of the cultural triangle in ancient Anuradhapura. The flowers will be bought by pilgrims which offer it eventually in one of the pagodas to Lord Buddha. The ancient kingdom of Anuradhapura where the foundation of Buddhism once thrived, remains after over 23 centuries, a revered pilgrimage centre. The neighbouring areas of Anuradhapura were inhabited from 1 000 BC and by the 5th century BC the city developed at a rapid rate. Emperor Ashoka’s son, Mahendra, instilled Buddhism in the 3rd century and the city is known as the capital of Sri Lanka’s Buddhist way of life.
