Geoffrey Bawa and the Lunuganga Gardens [1948-1998] The fame of the garden finally reached the ears of the priest of the Katakulija temple that, with its white stupa , forms the focus of the Cinnamon Hill vista. He suggested, that, as Mr Bawa derived so much pleasure from contemplating the stupa , he should donate the money needed to pay for its repainting. Bawa considered this request for a moment and the suggested that, as he could see only half the stupa from Lunuganga and had little interest in its reverse side, he would happily make a donation, but only for half the cost.
