Temple of the Tooth🙏🙏 In 1988, the Temple of the Tooth and the Holy City of Kandy were declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. At the cremation ceremony of the Buddha, we have placed the left tooth relic of the four remaining tooth relics in the Temple of the Tooth. The primary qualification of every king who ruled the country in the past to establish himself as the king of the country and to symbolize his sovereignty was the presence of the Tooth Relic in his custody. It is said that the Temple of the Tooth was completed during the reign of King Weera Parakrama Narendrasinghe (1707 - 1739 AD). Every year on Esala Poya Day, a procession is held in honor of the Sacred Tooth Relic. The palace where the Tooth Relic is kept, the Esala Perahera and the rituals associated with the Sacred Tooth Relic are our national heritage and it is our national duty to preserve it for our future generations.

MICHAEL JACKSON Michael Joseph Jackson was an American singer, songwriter and choreographer. Named by many names as "king of pop", "god of pop", "jacko", he is considered one of the most important cultural figures of the 20th century. Jackson is the most acclaimed artist in the history of popular music. He has joined the record books as the artist who has donated the most money for the welfare of children in the world. Since the late 1980s, Jackson has been subject to controversy and speculation due to his changing appearance, relationships, behaviors, and lifestyle. Jackson died in 2009 of a heart attack caused by his personal physician, Conrad Murray, overdosing on propofol. In August 2009, a Los Angeles state coroner convicted Jackson of murder, and in February 2010, Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter.

KITHUL TREE The kithul plant, botanically known as "Caryota urens", is also known as "Fish tail palm" in English. The Kitul tree, which is very similar to the coconut tree, belongs to the genus of coconut, palm, as well as palm. A well grown Kitul tree grows to a height of 40 to 50 feet. Kitul grows best in areas with humid climates. Like the coconut tree, the kithul tree is very useful to human beings. The evolving component of a kithul tree is the kithul flower. It takes about 10 years for a kithul tree to reach maturity. The flowers here appear to hang from the top to the bottom. It is not possible to get the oil from every flower that grows on a tree. The oil thus obtained is used to make kithul honey, kithul jaggery and toddy products.

MY BEST FRIEND We meet so many friends in life. From time to time in different places, during school hours, on social media or in some other way..I met my friend during school time. One or two of the friends you meet like this are best friends. I also have friends. It is a blessing to have such a friend to share life's joys and sorrows with. In fact, some friends are closer to life than siblings and are closer like a shadow in the face of grief, problems, and sorrow. But some friends are opportunistic and some friends are close to them only to gain an advantage.🥺 True friendship is not just about problems, it's about knowing someone in your life who can be happy with all your heart without being jealous or hypocritical She is the best friend I have ever met in my life. Stay close to everything I do. Poles are the best friend to say anything at any time. I wish this friendship to last forever.😘 I also wish you a good friend who will be a lifeline to your life.❤️...

💓 Bob Marley 💔 "Bob Marley" is another great artist who died prematurely. But they contained deeper meanings. He sang a series of revolutionary songs that froze the problems of the common people, the problems caused by the obstruction of their rights by the rulers of the Malayalams. He wore a hemp cigar, long braided hair, and a button-down shirt over his trousers, and he was a man who genuinely expressed his feelings and ideas in public. This insane man who created a new era in the world of music is considered a hero among many Caronians and Africans then as well as today.
