Sculpturers in stone, Hindu Temple, Point-Pedro, Sri Lanka.




I found these stone-sculpturers at work in renovating the temple close to the 'Theru-moody madam' at Point-Pedro. Jaffna is of limestone rock. Granite was imported by 'Vallams' - sailing boats - from South India from time immemorial, for construction of Hindu temples.
