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.
