'Fire-walking', 'Muthumari Amman Temple, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.
Spreading the hot embers. |
The entrance side with milk in a rectangular shaped ditch. |
The Idol of the Diety - 'Muthumari Amman' - looking over the performance. |
The start of the fire-walking by a devotee. |
The fire-walking. |
Dipping the feet in a mixture of cow-dung and saffron after the fire-walking. |

Clay figures of a threshing site, Buthpitiya, Sri Lanka.
On the road from Wathurugama to Gampaha, I saw these life-like clay figures of a threshing floor, in the centre of a paddy field.
