Sabaragamuwa provints

Sabaragamuwa on veel üks Sri Lanka provints, mis asub saare lõuna-keskosas ning koosneb kahest halduspiirkonnast: Ratnapura ja Kegalle. Sabaragamuwa on nimetatud endiste põliselanike järgi, nimelt Sabara, indika termin jahimeeste-korilaste hõimude kohta, termin, mida iidsetes Sri Lankas harva kasutati. Provints on tuntud oma kalliskivide tööstuse poolest, eriti Ratnapura piirkonnas. Lisaks kalliskivide tööstusele on provints tuntud riisi- ja puuviljakultuuride ja kummiistanduste poolest. Provintsis on ka turismiobjekte, nagu Sinharaja metsareservaat, Udawalawa rahvuspark, Kitulgala ja Adam’s Peak jne.

Provintsi pealinn on Ratnapura, mille nimi tähendab „kalliskivide linn“, linn, mis on kõige tuntum Sri Lanka pikaajalise kalliskivitööstuse poolest. Enamik linna elanikest sõltub kalliskivikaubandusest. Kalliskivikaevandused on ümbritsevas piirkonnas tavaline nähtus. Enamik suurtel kalliskiviettevõtjatel on tegevus Ratnapurast. Samuti tegutseb linnas märkimisväärne arv välismaiseid kalliskivikauplejaid. Riisi kasvatamine seisab Ratnapuras praegu silmitsi ebakindla tulevikuga, kuna paljud põllumehed loobuvad riisi kasvatamisest ja lähevad kalliskivikaevandusse, mis on tulusam viis raha teenimiseks. Paljud maitsvad puuviljad, nagu mango ja papaia, ning ka köögiviljad kasvatatakse turule müügiks.

Ratnapura asub A4 maanteel, mis ühendab pealinna Colombo Kalmunai linnaga Ida provintsis. Teine maantee A8 ühendab linna Panadura linnaga Lääneranniku piirkonnas Sri Lankas. Ratnapura iseloomustab troopiline vihmametsade kliima. Linn asub Sri Lanka edelaosas, nn niiskes tsoonis. Linna sademeid toovad peamiselt edela monsoonid maidist septembrini ja see on sageli üle ujutatud.
