C’est l’histoire d’un roi chassé par les armées tamoules, un siècle avant notre ère. Il trouve alors refuge à Dambulla, dans les grottes d’un imposant rocher de granit. Quand il parvient à remonter sur le trône, il tient à faire honneur à ces grottes, qui deviennent alors le Temple d’or. Devant nos yeux, des décors somptueux, comme en témoignent les magnifiques fresques qui recouvrent murs et plafonds. Et que dire de tous ces Bouddhas ! Des petits, des grands, dans toutes sortes de postures : ils sont 150 à se tenir là ! Nous sommes ici dans l’un des lieux saints du bouddhisme les plus remarquables de Ceylan

Tumpek Landep, It may not appeal to everyone but for those familiar with Balinese religion it is probably the most famous of all tumpeks which occur every 35 days.
Tumpek Landep falls on the holy day of Saniscara Kliwon (the confluence of two days from the 5 day and the 7 day week) Wuku Landep (second Saturday of 30 based on Balinese calendar system) which occurs every 210 days. On this day, Hindu people make offerings and pray to God for their tools made of metals such as iron, bronze, gold etc. People ask for their safety from Ida Sang Hyang Pasupati, the manifestation of God as creator and owner of all tools made of metal.
Tumpek Landep is also for the sharpening of our thought processes, it will lead us to the purity of our soul. By doing this, we will have good attitudes and control our desires so that we don’t commit inappropriate behaviour. Landep means sharp, by the sharp mind, it’s expected that we can fight against stupidity, darkness and misery as well.
Tumpek Landep is also a day for the cleaning and purifying of heirlooms. And for artists, it is a worship day to ask for the taksu (the aura of inner power that we feel in works of art), in order for their art to grow and progress, appreciated by people and be able to deliver moral messages through their works.
at Pura Batu Karu the ceremony at this temple where sacred spears and krises have been cleaned at the ceremony. Also many people wash their motor bikes and cars prior to the ceremony which is also held at their homes. The cars and bikes also have hanging on the handles of bikes or front of their cars a hanging which has relegious significance although most fall of after a while while the vehicle is being used.
* Just remembered the thing that hangs on their bikes or in front of motor cars is called tamiang. It is a hanging decoration in the shape of a shield, or round, made of young coconut leaf and placed on automobile
