More DescriptionThis is a reflection of the current trends and state of the city and not a diatribe.What is conceived as a heritage city is fast disappearing.It will be obvious to a visitor but residents are oblivious to the fact that its quality of living is fast declining, let alone the heritage.They are in a dreamy state and intoxicated by the religious sentiment and the label attached to it as the Kandyan heritage.
