The pilgrims who came to the Kataragama temple from as far as Jaffna are seen resting at the temple premises. Devotees from the North and East were trekking through the Kumana and Yala National Parks, bound for Kataragama to participate in the Ruhunu Maha Kataragama Devala festival. Pix by Nisal Baduge

    Walking nearly 300 miles with little children, bag and baggage through rough terrain ! What a feat? Incredible !

    It's wonderful to see when Tamils and sinhalese, who are brothers and sisters, come together like in Kataragama !!! They have such a long and famous history and I am sure, together they can built a (new) good and strong Sri Lanka, where all people can live in peace and happiness !!!

    Look at them. All are poor uneducated people. Had they had any formal education they wouldn't have done such things. They will not get anything but the pain and would remain poor for rest of the life. Typical 3rd world country.

    That’s the faith. We all respect them.

    Ryan you don't know the power of Lord Muruga also known as Lord Skanda or Kataragama Deviyo. He showers his grace on those who have faith and surrender to him. He has saved people from gallows, death, given various boons. People without connections and luck need the grace of god.
