Buddha Vandana Before the Sacred Journey at Vajirarama Temple

 In preparation for the #Dambadiwa #Pilgrimage to India, the #Damrivi Foundation team, #including Manique Gunaratne together with persons with non-disabilities, gathered at #Vajirarama #Temple, Colombo 4 for a serene Buddha Vandana in November 2024.

This meaningful beginning reflects the power of faith, #inclusivity, and spiritual togetherness — ensuring that every step of the journey celebrates equal participation in #Buddhist religious activities. 


People in a temple This image shows several people inside what appears to be a Buddhist temple or shrine room. In the background on the left, there is a golden structure, likely a stupa or relic chamber, surrounded by ornate golden decorations. A man is kneeling on a red carpet in front of it, engaging in what seems to be a moment of prayer or respect. To his right, a Buddhist monk in brown robes is seated on a chair, possibly reading or reflecting. In the foreground to the right, there are three people: a woman in a light blue and white saree, another woman standing just behind her in a white outfit, and a boy wearing a patterned shirt with his arms crossed. They are standing near a wall and a window, appearing thoughtful or waiting quietly. The overall atmosphere seems reverent and calm.

A group of people standing inside a room, most of them dressed in white. The focus is on an older woman in the center foreground with short grey hair, hands clasped together near her face, possibly in prayer or meditation. Behind her, others stand in a loose line, some with hands clasped similarly, suggesting a solemn or spiritual gathering. The room has wooden floors, glass doors with decorative stained glass, and a red carpet running through the center. The lighting is warm and soft, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.

A Buddhist monk dressed in traditional brown robes is seated on a chair near a large window with bars. He appears to be holding or examining an item in his hands, possibly a sheet of paper or a strip of cloth. Several people, mostly women, are standing in a line and appear to be approaching him. The woman in the foreground is dressed in a light-colored dress and is looking towards the camera while others behind her are engaged in the activity. The room has wooden floors, cream-colored walls, and wooden-framed windows. The atmosphere suggests a ceremonial or religious gathering.

Ornate Buddhist shrine room with three women. The center of the image features a golden stupa housed within a glass case, surrounded by intricately carved golden and wooden panels with decorative patterns and swan motifs. Offerings such as flowers and containers are placed in front of the shrine on a glass table. The three women in white attire are near the shrine, facing away from the camera, likely engaged in a ritual or act of respect. The room has a serene and respectful atmosphere, highlighted by the soft lighting and detailed craftsmanship.
