This beautiful, age old ritual takes place as Buddhist monks have a responsibility to support its communities spiritually and in return the communities take care of their monks by giving them alms as a food offering. This process of giving and receiving alms creates a spiritual connection between monks and the communities. By giving a “Dhane” to a temple you will be able to interact with the monks that will be happy to teach you about the religion while observing the spiritual connection between temple and community. They will chant pirith (religious verses) and tie a pirith nool (Blessed piece of string) around your wrists which is said to keep away bad omens. After the offering you will be able to engage in a meditation session led by the monk. To top it all admire the breath-taking panoramic view of the Sigiriya region from the majestic rock top stupa
