SRI LANKA: Streetart Kandy – Urban Art in the Sacred City – Historical Mural and Modern Graffiti

Kandy is a large city with around 160,000 inhabitants on a plateau in the middle of the country surrounded by idyllic tea plantations and species-rich rainforests. The longest river in Sri Lanka, the Mahaweli, flows around Kandy, and the city is built around cozy Lake Bogambara. There is also a palace complex and various Buddhist holy sites, including the famous temple Sri Dalada Maligawa, where a tooth of Buddha is enshrined. Kandy is therefore also known as the Sacred City. Accordingly, there are also many urban artworks in the streets depicting historical and religious scenes, but also with modern motifs. Check out as well the temple paintings at Asgiri Maha Vihara Pirivena, the Royal Forest with the cute monkeys and the article about the city itself, its street life and the historical buildings.
