Sri Lanka: A cat sleeps next to sema stone (a boundary stone which designates a sacred area), Malwatte Vihara (temple), Kandy

The Malwatte Vihara or ‘Monastery of the Flower Garden’, stands at the southern side of Kandy Lake. Most of the temple was built during the early reign of King Kirti Sri Rajasinha (1747-1782). Malwatte Vihara is one of the two seats of the Siyam Nikaya, the highest and most prosperous monks’ order in Sri Lanka. In 1803, the year in which the British took the largest number of casualties in the war with Kandy, Malwatte Vihara was converted into an army hospital.
