Kataragama Festival

Kataragama mumbles with development at the period of pujas offerings or supplications. Fans stacked down with offerings move delicately, shoeless, up the asylum steps. From inside comes the sharp strong of breaking coconuts as admirers begin their commitments. It's not long after following six during the evening, not long now to the night puja.

A line twists round the sanctum's internal dividers; the all inclusive community stand smoothly, getting a handle on plates stacked with sustenances developed starting from the earliest stage enhanced with mind blowing red shrubs made only for Skanda, offspring of Shiva and the heavenly power of war and learning, for whom the standard consecrated place in Kataragama is conferred. It is said that Skanda laid on the mountain at Kataragama ensuing to vanquishing a huge number of fiendishness spirits.
