Viragaya Thira Rachanaya

Adapted from Martin Wickremasinghe's eponymous novel this psychological drama attempts to dwell into the mind of Aravinda (Sanath Gunatilake) whose Buddhist empathy and detachment is contrasted with his worldly friends and relatives. The English translation of the title "The Way of the Lotus" implies Aravinda as a Lotus - - rising above dirt and mud to blossom. The scriptwriting is by Dr Tissa Abeysekara.
