These orchids are called the Kandyian dancers (they look like the traditional outfit with big shoulder pads that the kandyian men wear). And a lotus flower...they are everywhere here, because of the Buddha of course.
A tuc-tuc with a sense of humour....
A blessing ceremony for the 'cutting of the ground' at Mali's house. Before work is started on a house, there is a ceremony to bring good luck to the construction. It involves cooking sweet (very sweet - I think 1kg of sugar went in the pot) milk rice and sharing it. Making offering in a small homemade shrine, some prayers and making cones made of banana leaves stuffed with the rice and incense, oil, etc. for the spirits.
And a picture of us with Mali after nearly 7 months of travel (and lots of curries ;-)
