The images in this series show the places of religious pilgrimage
in Sri Lanka, the birthplace of Theravada Buddhism (school of the
oldest orthodox tradition). Although the places are Unesco world
heritage sites and are opened to tourism, the practice of religious
local pilgrimage strongly resists to all forms of cultural and
economic interference of organized tourism.
