Sri Lanka or Ceylon
Dawn, a man walks holding his dhoti, another does push-ups, two men jog along the seafront of Colombo, three men do exercises near the sea. An elephant lies down in a river with his mahout in a huge straw had on his back. A group of women wash in the river. A woman lays saris out on the pebbles to try. Titles. Wind blows through a paddy field and a deer grazes. People harvesting rice. Man guides water buffalo through water. Boys in loincloths with long sticks keep the buffalo moving. Close up of a woman, hands with bangles picking tea. A group of women with tea baskets across their heads pick tea. A pulley and wire slide bags of tea down the mountainside. Crowds in a market balance produce on their heads. Market stall with incense sticks and cars including VW beetle passing behind. A boy with scales tips produce into a customer's bag.
Mounted troops pass through crowded streets on parade. Sri Lankan judges and lawyers in British style wigs. Sri Lankan Parliament. Shots of Mrs Bandaranaike, woman prime minister for 1970. She is seen on a podium, perhaps swearing in, with a seated audience fanning themselves. She and her ministers help dig the foundations of memorial to her assassinated husband Solomon Bandaranaike, who started the welfare system. We see her digging with amazed Buddhist monks. Two naked boys. People lying on steps, probably homeless. A fish stall with a young girl weighing and sorting. Fish being cut up into chunks. Watching a cricket match - affluent young Sri Lankans - several shots. Sign reads Central Employment Exchange Colombo Man at a desk hands over papers. He asks questions of another. Line of people with forms. A busy office of civil servants and job seekers. Aftermath of riots, looted buildings. A line of police. The offices of Ceylon and World Tours ltd trashed. Police and armoured vehicles through the streets. Sign says Criminal Justice Commissions. North Korean Embassy surrounded by soldiers and barbed wire. Crowds of happy Chinese women greet Bandaranaike as she waves to them on a visit to Beijing, China. A motorcade through the streets. Hue En Lai is next to her. A stadium in China, a baby elephant is brought, Chinese girls clap and cheer. Bandaranaike smiles and pats the elephant and receives flowers. Night, a belly dancer, Indian style. Beautiful or beauty contest, women parade holding numbers. The winner wears a sash reading Miss Pagesetter. She is photographed with flowers.

ලංකාවේ පාර්ලිමේන්තුව ගැන ඔබ නොදන්නා ඇති විශේෂ හෙළිදරව්වක්
Under the British Colonial government, when the Executive Council and the Legislative Councils were set up in 1833, they met in a building opposite Gordon Gardens, which is now the Republic Building, occupied by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On January 29, 1930 the British Governor of Ceylon, Sir Herbert Stanley (1927–1931), opened a building fronting the ocean at Galle Face, Colombo, designed for meetings of the Legislative Council. It was subsequently used by the State Council (1931–1947), the House of Representatives (1947–1972), the National State Assembly (1972–1977) and the Parliament of Sri Lanka (1977–1981). Today the Old Parliament Building is used by the Presidential Secretariat.

The Colonial Colombo
The fort area of the city of Colombo is a place of coexistence of the modern cosmopolitan skyscrapers and the heritage of the Portuguese, Dutch and British time.
It has a long history as a port on ancient east-west trade routes, ruled successively by the Portuguese, Dutch and British. That heritage is reflected in its its architecture, mixing colonial buildings with high-rises and shopping malls.
The imposing Colombo National Museum, dedicated to Sri Lankan history, borders sprawling Viharamahadevi Park and its giant Buddha.
