DFCC renovates 'Coffee Flower Fountain'

The 'Coffee Flower Fountain' is part of the world heritage city of Kandy. This was built by coffee planters during the British colonial era in commemoration of the visit of the Prince of Wales to Kandy in December 1875.

This fountain made of pewter had been initially constructed in Britain by George Smith and Co and Sun Foundry of Glasgow.

The DFCC Kandy branch stepped in on several occasions in the past to renovate the fountain and bring it to its former glory. During the Esala perehera the elephants which find their way to the fountain in search of water damage the little cherubs and swans that adorn the fountain.

As part of the modernisation and renovation of the Kandy Heritage City, the Mayor of Kandy, Mahendra Ratwatta called upon the DFCC Bank to undertake the repairs and maintenance activities of the fountain again.
