This is a holy place and comprises such evocative names as Abhayagiri Vihara, Dambulla, Jetavana, Kandy, Polonnaruva and Sigiriya. Teams of archaeologists have been engaged here since 1980 on a vast project to uncover the spiritual footmarks of countless generations at this busy historical crossover between East and West. -- ER -
