    when prince Vijaya came to Sri Lanka Kuveni was weaving cotton!!!!!!!!!!!Sri Lankans are great people with high dignity and Honour.

  3. Wonderful job. You are bringing great memories to all Sri Lankans who really love this country. I have some copies of some old paintings. I will scan them and post them. Keep up the excellent work.
