The panels of these pillars are engraved with 128 carvings on each of the four sides.There are a large number of other beautiful wood carvings such as the soldier carving, the tambourine weaver, the mother feeding the baby, the beetle bird, the kidura and the nalagana🎭.The roof design of the Ambakka Devalaya is also special due to the curvature used to connect the 26 rafters together.The great artist Dilmada Mulachari is credited by the nation for creating this wonderful creation.The people of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 are also proud to have such a heritage of beautiful modern architecture with such beautiful wood carvings.

Colored shells,

Image
One day when I was a child🍼😁, I remember when I was about 8 years old I went to Nilaveli with my mom and dad to see the sea👨‍👩‍👧🌊. Before. When I was looking at the beautiful color and shape of it, all of a sudden I saw that I was in the middle of a lot of shells🐚. Then I brought all these together😁. When I saw the beautiful colors and shapes of these shells, I thought that someone had painted them beautifully from the sea and sent them to me😇🎨🖌️. We go to Nilaveli two or three times a year. I like it so much because I can collect shells🤿. I have a large collection of shells right now. I have sorted them by color and size.I have so many shells with me ,and having  a desire to collect more shells, but the desire to collect more beautiful shells will never be lost.🥰

   Vertebrates are a species closely related to all vertebrates.These are commonly referred to as *jawless fish* .They had a vertebra that was a feature that no  previous animal had.Considered to be the first vertebrates, these jawless fish have been discovered by paleontologists. *Kiaeraspis* is one such fossil found entirely in a (400 million)-year-old, flat-bottomed fish.It had two skeletal structures on the outside as well as on the inside.Their groups entered the freshwater rivers from the sea and inhabited them.    Although almost all of these jawless fish have disappeared, several species remain today. *Lamprey* is one such.It is a parasite that clings to the body of a fish by sucking on the blood through its mouth.    The *Silurian* period was the period when jawless fish were common.By the end of that period and the approach of the *Devonian* period, these fish had made great strides.That is, they have jaws.Scientists named the first jaw fish ...
