Kandy, Sri Lanka, Part 3

Here are more photos taken
Gateway to the main part of the complex
Devotees entering the main building housing the sacred relic. We observed the short procession of devotees while we were walking around the complex and respectfully watched from a distance so we won't get in their way.
Intricate relief carvings
This building is off-limits to the public including tourists
Another photo of the gateway
Beyond the closed gate, one can marvel at the gigantic statue of the Buddha on what is likely among the highest peaks in Kandy
Three-wheelers in the form of these tuktuk types
Another view of the streets of Kandy with the giant Buddha seemingly watching from above.
I am still reviewing the photos I took in Sri Lanka and the photos shared to me by friends who also took a lot of photos while we were there. I will post more soon!
