Muhudu Maha Vihara

Muhudu Maha Vihara (Sinhalaː මුහුදු මහා විහාරය) is a Buddhist temple at Pottuvil in Ampara District, Eastern province of Sri Lanka. This temple, near a wide beach, is believed to have been built over 2000 years ago by King Kavan Tissa of Ruhuna. The ruins and remains of ancient stupas, Seema Malaka, Avasa Geya and statues can be seen at the site. Important ruins at the temple premises include stone statues of Buddha and two statues of old kings or gods. History This Viharaya marks one of the suspected landing places of Viharamahadevi, daughter of Kelani Tissa, who was destined to become the queen of King Kavan Tissa of the Rohana Kingdom, along with Kirinda. Scholars argue that there is more evidence that Muhudu Maha Viharaya was in fact the landing site of Viharamahadevi due to the Kirinda Coast having a steep cliff, and hence it might've been unlikely that the princess landed there. According to the ancient chronicle Rajavaliya, it is stated that in the second century BC after Kelaniya was submerged by the sea due to a natural disaster, Devi the daughter of King of Kelaniya was cast to sea in a Golden Vessel to appease the gods, and washed ashore near the Muhudu Maha Vihara in Pottuwil. Later she became the main consort of King Kavan Tissa of Ruhuna Kingdom, under the name Viharamahadevi. See also Magul Maha Viharaya Notes and references
Mahajana College, Batticaloa

Mahajana College is a provincial school in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. History The school was founded in 1875 by Rev. John Hilner. It was changed some time later to a teachers training college, but in 1925 became Arasadi Methodist Mission Tamil Mixed School. Ten years later it was changed to the Mahajana College, but in 1962 the college came under the government's national policy, and became the Arasadi Tamil Mixed School. It was renamed Mahajana College in 1992. The British Council of Sri Lanka honored the college in 2011 for providing a portfolio of evidence among the best ten submitted for the International School Award. Co-curricular activities In 2016, students in the college's Environment Pioneer Student Group staged a World Environment Day "awareness walk" and street play to call attention to environmental protection. They also sold environmentally friendly bags to reduce the use of plastic bags. The college hosted "Thinking Day—2013" to commemorate Girl Guide founders Lord Baden and Lady Olave Powell, presenting awards and badges to "those who helped the Girl Guide movement in the Batticaloa District". A symposium at the event included Senior Public Health Inspector P. Manokaran's talk on the "high incidence of breast and cervical cancer in Sri Lanka in the Batticaloa district" and he explained, "early detection of this was easy and is curable at the early stages". Events at the college The Traditional Industries and Small Enterprise Development Ministry announced a cottage industry development programme in the Batticaloa district at Mahajana College, Batticaloa, in March 2012. The programme included, "grants, bank loans and to provide market access to the public in Batticaloa to start small industries under the programme, ministry sources said". The college held "Divi Neguma National Exhibition" at Mahajana College, Batticaloa, in November 2014, to support small and traditional industries in the Eastern Province that had closed as a result of terrorism. These industries had been re-established to strengthen the economy of the area. Traditional Industries and Small Enterprise Development Minister Douglas Devenandar said these industries had flourished in the East making the area a hive of economic activity. According to the minister, "Divi Neguma" Programme would bring economic benefits to over one million family units. In December 2015, the college celebrated with more than 270 participants (including special invitees, students and their parents) at a scholarships awarding ceremony to students who had "received a minimum 6 credits in one sitting with Maths". Speaker Rev. Fr. Rajeevan encouraged students who receive the award to "become helpers to others in the future".

Gledališče je bilo odprto 15. decembra 2011. Oblikovanje in funkcije Arhitekturo stavbe je navdihnil Nelum Pokuna (Lotosov ribnik) iz 12. stoletja v Polonnaruwi. Omenjeni ribnik, ki ga je zgradil kralj Parakramabahu Veliki, je oblikovan kot stiliziran lotosov cvet z osmimi cvetnimi listi. Skupni ocenjeni stroški projekta so bili 3080 milijonov LKR (šrilanška rupija). Vlada Ljudske republike Kitajske je od skupnih stroškov zgradbe zagotovila 2430 milijonov LKR. Stavba se razprostira na površini več kot 14.000 kvadratnih metrov. Gledališče je opremljeno z najmodernejšimi napravami, kot je avditorij s 1288 sedeži, knjižnico in prostori za usposabljanje. Stavba je opremljena z glavnim avditorijem in gledališčem na prostem ter možnostjo pretvorbe prednjih stopnic v dodatno gledališče na prostem. 690 kvadratnih metrov premičnega odra v avditoriju vključuje sposobnost dvigovanja in spuščanja orkestrske jame. Obstajajo možnosti za izvajanje izobraževalnih in raziskovalnih dejavnosti. Na voljo je tudi parkirišče za 500 vozil.

Temeljni kamen projekta je položila prav ona. Gradnja Narodnega gledališča scenskih umetnosti (National Performing Arts Theatre) se je začela leta 2006 in je trajala štiri leta. Končana je bila približno v začetku leta 2011. Gledališče je bilo odprto decembra 2011. Svečano sta ga odprla predsednik Šrilanke Mahinda Radžapaksa in podpredsednik kitajskega komiteja Sang Chiang. Pomembne predstave in dogodki Za otvoritveno noč so opero izvajali vodilni umetniki iz Šrilanke, kot so Jayantha Chandrasiri, Rohana Weerasinghe in Channa Wijewardena, začenši z izvedbo Jagan Mohini Madura Bashini, avtorja Panditha Amaradeve. Ob odprtju je bila izvedena tudi kitajska opera, ki je prikazala zgodbo o kitajsko-budističnem menihu Fa-Hsienu na Šrilanki v četrtem stoletju. Obe predstavi sta uporabili koncept Seda Mawatha, ki vključuje film in dramo. Novembra 2013 je gledališče gostilo prvi simfonični koncert, ki ga je izvedel orkester Commonwealtha, ki ga je vodil James Rosss, s 87 glasbeniki iz Velike Britanije, Indije in simfoničnega orkestra Šrilanke.

Old Clock Tower Lighthouse

p4 Old Clock Tower Lighthouse (singhalesisch කොලඹ පැරණි ප්‍රදීපාගාරය) ist ein Uhrturm (englisch Clock Tower) und ehemaliger Leuchtturm (englisch Lighthouse) in Colombo, der Hauptstadt von Sri Lanka. Das 29 m hohe und quadratische Mauerwerk wurde 1860 im Zentrum von Colombo als Uhrturm errichtet. Fünf Jahre später wurde die Laterne ergänzt und das Bauwerk 1865 zusätzlich als Leuchtturm in Betrieb genommen. Als das Leuchtfeuer immer mehr durch umliegende Gebäude verdeckt wurde, entschied man sich 1952 für den Bau eines neuen Leuchtturms an der Wasserfront der Stadt.

Old Colombo Lighthouse

Old Colombo Lighthouse or Colombo Fort Clock Tower is a clock tower and was a lighthouse in Colombo. The lighthouse is no longer operational, but the tower remains and functions as a clock tower. It is located at the junction of Chatham Street and Janadhipathi Mawatha (formerly Queens Road) in Colombo fort. History The tower was constructed as a clock tower in 1856-57 and completed on the 25 February 1857. The tower was designed by Emily Elizabeth Ward, the wife of Governor Sir Henry George Ward (1797 – 1860). The construction was undertaken by the Public Works Department, under the supervision of Mr John Flemming Churchill (Director General of Public Works). The 29-metre-high (95 ft) tower was the tallest structure in Colombo at that time. The original clock was commissioned for £1,200 in 1814 by the then Governor Sir Robert Brownrigg (1759 – 1833) but was kept in a warehouse, due to economic reasons, until 1857 when it was finally installed. The lighthouse was deactivated after its light became obscured by nearby buildings and was decommissioned on 12 July 1952. The modern Galle Buck Lighthouse was erected on Marine Drive as its replacement. Features The original Colombo lighthouse was located on a bastion on the ocean edge of the fort, was a neo-classical structure, with a 23 m (75 ft) wooden light tower rising from a two-storey circular brick building and surrounded by an elaborate colonnade. It was erected in 1829 and subsequently demolished with the removal of the fort ramparts between 1869 and 1871. The clock mechanism was constructed by the renowned English clockmakers, Dent, who were also responsible for manufacturing the clock ('Big Ben') at Westminster Palace in 1852. The clock tower was formally commissioned on 25 March 1857. The bells in the clock tower consisted of a main bell of approx. 250 kg (550 lb) and two auxiliary bells of 152 kg (335 lb). The navigational light was moved to the tower in 1867. The clockwork operated revolving dioptric light was constructed by Chance Brothers. The height of the focal plane above sea-level was 140 m (460 ft) and the light was visible to an eye elevated 61 m (200 ft) above sea level at a distance of 27 km (17 mi) in clear weather. The light was a triple flash at intervals of 30 seconds, each flash being of one second duration, and each long eclipse of 18 seconds duration. The light was lit using kerosene oil. In 1907 it was converted to gas. In 1933 it was replaced with a 1,500 candle power light powered by electricity. In October 1913, the clock had to be replaced with the current clock, which has a six-foot dial glazed with opal glass for illumination and the clock tower was re-inaugurated on 4 April 1914.

Stari svetilnik v Kolombu

Stari svetilnik v starem mestnem jedru Kolomba je nekdanji svetilnik v Kolombu. Stolp ne opravlja več funkcije svetilnika, je pa na njem nameščena stolpna ura. Stoji na stičišču Chatham Street in Janadhipathi Mawatha (prej Queens Road) v mestnem predelu Fort. Zgodovina Stolp je bil zgrajen kot stolpna ura med letoma 1856-57 in končan 25. februarja 1857. Stolp je oblikovala Emily Elizabeth Ward, žena guvernerja sira Henryja Georgea Warda (1797-1860). Gradnjo je izvedel oddelek za javna dela pod nadzorom g. Johna Flemminga Churchilla (generalni direktor javnih del). 29-m visok stolp je bil najvišja zgradba v mestu Kolombo v tistem času. Prvotno uro je naročil za 1.200 ₤ leta 1814 takratni guverner sir Robert Brownrigg (1759-1833), vendar je bila zaradi gospodarskih razlogov v skladišču shranjena do leta 1857, ko je bila končno nameščena. Svetilnik je bil deaktiviran, potem ko je njegova svetloba motila bližnje stavbe in je bil ukinjen 12. julija 1952. Moderni svetilnik Galle Buck je bil zgrajen na Marine Drive kot nadomestek. Lastnosti Prvotni svetilnik v mestu je bil nameščen na bastijonu na robu mestne utrdbe. Bil je neoklasicistična stavba s 23 m visokim lesenim svetlobnim stolpom, ki se je dvigal iz dvonadstropne krožne osnove iz opeke in ga je obkrožala prefinjena kolonada. Postavljen je bil leta 1829 in kasneje porušen z odstranitvijo obzidja med letoma 1869 in 1871. Urni mehanizem so zgradili ugledni angleški urarji družbe Dent, ki so bili prav tako odgovorni za izdelavo ure ("Big Ben") v Westminstrski palači leta 1852. Stolpno uro so uradno naročili 25. marca 1857. Zvonove sestavlja glavni zvon pribl. 250 kg težek in dva pomožna zvonova po 152 kg. Navigacijska luč je bila v stolp premeščena leta 1867. Vrtečo se dioptrično luč, ki jo upravlja urni mehanizem so skonstruirali v Chance Brothers. Višina goriščne ravnine nad morsko gladino je bila 140 m, svetloba pa je bila vidna v višini 61 m nad morjem na razdalji 27 km v jasnem vremenu. Svetloba je bila trojna bliskavica v intervalih 30 sekund, pri čemer je vsaka bliskavica trajala eno sekundo in vsaka dolga pavza 18 sekund. Svetilka je bila osvetljena z uporabo kerozinskega olja. Leta 1907 je bila predelana na plin. Leta 1933 je bila nadomeščena s 1500 svetlobnimi žarnicami, ki jih je napajala električna energija. Oktobra 1913 je bilo treba uro zamenjati s sedanjo uro, ki ima okrog šest metrov premera z opalnim steklom za osvetlitev. Stolpna ura je bila ponovno postavljena 4. aprila 1914.
