Exhibition in Mumbai on Buddhism in Sri Lanka

The Consulate General of Sri Lanka in Mumbai in association with the Kala Bhavan in Thane, Mumbai inaugurated a photographic exhibition under the theme 'Buddhism in Sri Lanka'. The exhibition was open to the public from November 8 to 11.

The Mayor of Thane, Harishchandra Patil, and the Electoral Member of the Republican Party of India, Asha Babasaheb Kamble, participated at the inauguration ceremony.

The exhibition included 60 colourful photographs taken by Chandrakant Ghatge, an internationally recognised photographer, during his recent visit to Sri Lanka's Buddhist temples and cultural sites. The exhibition reflects a cross-section of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, Sri Lankan culture and the living pattern of its people enlightened by Buddhism.

The Consulate will exhibit the photographs in a number of International Schools in Mumbai in the coming months to strengthen the unique cultural bond between Sri Lanka and India.
