Yodha Wewa in Mannar, Sri Lanka







Yodha Wewa (Kaddukarai Kulam) is a giant irrigation tank in Mannar district Sri Lanka. It was constructed by king Dhatusena and restored by king Parakramabahu. The wewa and its surrounding are declared one of Sri Lanka's sanctuaries. The water that comes from Malwathu Oya is the input water to this wewa, and the inlet channel is Aalawakka – ela from the Thekkama Amuna. The total storage of the tank is 26600 acres ft, and the water spread area is 4550 acres.

A Tamil author named Mudaliyar C.Rasanayagam stated some facts in his book 'Ancient Jaffna' mentioned below.

''The existence of the extensive ruins at Matota and of the celebrated Giant's Tank close to it are indubitable signs of an immense population well advanced in agriculture. This tank is apparently the most ancient work extant in Ceylon, so ancient that it is not mentioned as having been built by any of the kings who reigned in Ceylon after Vijaya. The Giant's tank must, therefore, have been the work of the remotest times, constructed probably by the ancient Nagas, who were the people then living in that part of Ceylon''

A LITTLE NEST


None of us can put the same effort as birds.  They build their own nest and look after their young ones. There is no cement, no money, no carpenter involved. But they have the ability to build their nests in own for their children. They search food and bring to the nests to feed their children. Little by little birds build their nests by putting their full effort only with the help of their wings. They believe their wings. Then, why can't we build hope in our life which has great facilities? Human beings have their nests like palace, but they do not have that much love, peace and freedom like these birds.

I have taken this photograph in my home. Almost one-month I have seen this nest formation little by little by this bird. Now it completed and laid eggs inside the nest. I was trying to take this photo for some period, but I didn’t had the opportunity to take the snap with this bird. Fortunately, I got this chance to take this photo yesterday. 

No matter how hard our life, we should fly like a bird with full of effort and self-confidence. Keep simple life as birds…

HUNGER



Hunger! It is the most powerful weapon which hits most of the people. Why all of us are running behind money? To relieve from hunger. Do all people have the ability to relieve form hunger? No. Here, the hunger hides behind this smiling face.
There are two types of groups in this world. One is running behind the money another group is struggling to relieve from hunger.
Every mother's dream is to look her child in a good position as a doctor, engineer, lawyer, accountant, or whatever. But family situations always affect the ways to achieve their goals.
A certain group always achieve their goals either with their effort or by the power of money. But other groups sacrifice their dreams and goals to survive from hunger.
Some are homeless and sleep on roads and find their food by daily wages or by begging.
In Sri Lanka, many mothers are begging on roads to feed her child. I found this little girl at Negombo Brown Beach with her mother. She dressed up with torn clothes and she was eating corn by holding the packet in one hand. When I was approaching her, she filled my heart with her cute smile.
But her mother was unhappy, as she could not feed her child properly. She was afraid that what to do when her child feels hungry as soon as the corn packet get finished.
This incident taught me not to waste our food, as many people survive by eating only once a day. No matter how much little, we should help ever to eradicate the hunger from this world.
Help ever with love… 💜

WISDOM OF SUNSET


Nature is a great art by god. My most favourite place is the beach and mainly I wish to go there to watch sunsets. Kurunagar is a coastal village surrounded by Jaffna lagoon. This lagoon is giving livelihood for many fishermen who are living in this area. The best thing is, in every evening children play football with other neighbourhood friends on this beach. Elderly people meet their neighbours in the evening at their gates. These scenes are the most attractions for tourists. There is a famous Anthoniyar holy temple, situated near this beach and lots of people prefer to go and get full of grace from the god.
I was there around for one hour. I am so impressed with the rhythmic wind. Especially that one hour taught me the designs of nature in the sunset. Gradually the sunshine decreased to a round shape and turned to dark. This scene was so peaceful to me. It was mesmerised my mind and I forgot everything. This is the real wisdom I felt in the day. This aesthetic leads me to take this photograph.
