Who am I ? 🤔

 💕As for me, I am a very sensitive person and I think a lot about many things. I am a chill person who loves enjoying life. As well as I don't like to interfere in the lives of my relatives, neighbors, or others around me and expect the same from them. I strongly prefer to live independently. 👧However, people often mistake this brusque nature of mine as being arrogant and rude. But, all their thoughts are wrong. 👀Also, at any moment, I don't hesitate to go out of my way to lend a helping hand to people if they genuinely need it.                                      I am self disciplined.

💗 Lowland Painting Arts. 💗

 🧑‍🎨 Lowland paintings of the Kandy period. 🧑‍🎨 During the period of the Mahanuwara kingdoms, this art spread in the lowland areas of the island, specially in the southern and western provinces. As a result of the enthusiasm of Sangharaja Thero for his students to establish and maintain Buddhist temples in the lowlands, this art of painting spread to the lowlands. This art that spread in the pahatara areas has elements similar to the paintings of the uplands. But there are also notable differences. That is, although the style used, the techniques followed are almost the same, there are significant differences in the shape of the human figures, clothes, background colours, designs, background decorations and etc. In this way, some of the lowland temples where the tradition of painting in Kandy spread are mentioned below.💁 Thelwaththa Rathpath Rajamaha Wiharaya Karagampitiya Subhodaramaya Dodanduwa Sailabimbaramaya Ambalangoda Sunandaramaya Mulkirigala Rajamaha Wiharaya Kelaniya...
