Uganthaimalai, Batticaloa, Sriu Lanka.

Uganthaimalai is a famous rock temple dedicated to Lord Murugan. It lies on the sea-shore on a rocky outcrop. It lies on the path of the pilgrims walking from the north of the Island to Kathirgaamam. I took this photo on a visit with a group from the Batticaloa Hospital. Photo taken by me on an SLR in the late 1980s.

A view from the 'Temple of the Tooth', Kandy, Sri Lanka

The innumerable incense sticks burnt and the coconut oil lamps burnt as offerings at the Temple of the Tooth, Kandy, enshroud it in a haze, visible at night. I took this picture from across the lake at night.

A view from the 'Temple of the Tooth', Kandy, Sri Lanka

I took this picture when the cherry blossoms were in bloom, from the ramparts of the 'Dalada Maligawa', Kandy. You can see the crowd of worshippers in the courtyard.
