කොහෙ කරි වරදක් වෙලා තියෙනවා නම් එක තැනක කරපු වරදකට, සමස්ථ කතෝලිකයන්වම ගාව ගන්න එක වැරදි. හැබැයි මෙතන එහෙම දෙයක් වෙලා නෑ නේද?
හැබැයි මෙතන නම් මේවා එෆ්.බී දාපු පොර පටලවගෙන වගෙ. නැත්තන් දැන් දැනම බොරු ප්රශ්ණ ඇති කරවන්ඩ කරපු උත්සාහයක්.
- Sandakada pahana, also known as Moon-stone, is a unique feature of the Sinhalese architecture of ancient Sri Lanka. It is an elaborately carved semi-circular stone slab, usually placed at the bottom of staircases and entrances. First seen in the latter stage of the Anuradhapura period, the sandakada pahana evolved through the Polonnaruwa, Gampola and Kandy period. According to historians, the sandakada pahana symbolises the cycle of Saṃsāra in Buddhism.
- The first sandakada pahanas were created during the latter stage of the ancient Anuradhapura Kingdom. They were only placed at entrances to Buddhist temples during this period.
- The Anuradhapura tradition of placing sandakada pahanas only at entrances to Buddhist temples also changed, and they are found at the entrances of other buildings belonging to the Polonnaruwa period as well.
- According to Paranavitana, the sandakada pahana symbolises the cycle of Saṃsāra. The liyavel symbolise worldly desires (Taṇhā) and the lotus depicts the final achievement of Nirvana.[14] The elephant, bull, lion and horse depict birth, decay, disease and death respectively, while the swans symbolise the distinction between good and bad.

- Sesath or traditional Sinhalese umbrellas have a long history behind them. Although today largely used as home decor and at ceremonial observances such as peraheras, the sesatha of yore had a functional as well as a ritual value. The olden-day sesath appear to have been invariably white as is suggested by the term sesatha itself which is derived from the Sanskritic shveta-chatra or 'white umbrella'. Such white umbrellas are said to be still found in the homes of old Kandyan families. Besides serving as a sunshade borne by the attendants of aristocracy, the sesath could also be said to have indicated a man's status in society.
