Sri Lanka's Ancient Sky Fortress



Sigiriya is a magnificent ancient rock fortress in Sri Lanka. It was built in the 5th century by King Kasyapa. The king chose a massive 200-meter-high rock for his palace. He wanted a safe and grand capital.



The climb to the top is an amazing experience. First, you see the beautiful Water Gardens. Then, you reach the famous Mirror Wall. It was once so polished that the king could see his reflection. Next, you see the stunning Sigiriya Frescoes. These are ancient paintings of heavenly maidens.






Finally, you climb the last steps to the summit. The view from the top is breathtaking. You can see the green forests all around. The ruins of the palace are still there. It shows the great skill of ancient builders.




Today, Sigiriya is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of Sri Lanka's most famous landmarks. Sigiriya tells a story of power, art, and amazing ancient engineering. It is a must-visit place for anyone.

My life's Hero

The hero of my life is my mother. Her name is Sunethra Kumari. She is 45 years old. Currently, she works as a teacher at the village school. She is a very simple and humble person. On numerous occasions, she has mentioned that from a young age she pursued her studies amidst various hardships and that her sole desire was to make her life a success despite those challenges. I see her as a very strong woman who successfully conquered life in the face of economic difficulties. My mother put in a lot of effort for me to succeed in life. My only wish too was to be successful in my future, just like her. Looking at her life, I promise myself today that I too will overcome any obstacles and succeed in my life. Moving forward, you are and will always be my only hero.
