Vijitha Yapa's 2013 Postcard Desk calendar launched

The Sri Lanka Images Postcard Desk Calendar 2013 produced by Vijitha Yapa Publications is now available.

The calendar has 12 postcards, one for each month.

At the end of each month the postcards can be detached and sent out . Unlike a normal calendar, with the postcard concept, the cards are reusable.

The product has 12 pictures depicting various aspects of Sri Lankan life. The cover picture features two baby elephants frolicking in the river at Pinnawela. The calendar also contains a picture of the only woman drummer depicted in any Sri Lankan ancient mural which can be seen at the Mulkirigala Temple built in the 2nd century BC. Some of the other pictures are of Ruvanweliseya from a new angle and four pictures of elephants performing various tasks. The calendar also has a picture of the 12 ton statue of the giant jade Buddha which was displayed at the BMICH two months ago.

Vijitha and Lalana Yapa have taken the photographs capturing scenes which are unusual and of interest.
