Kataragama Pada Yatra 2002: From Chemmalai to Pulmodai by fishing boat

31 May 2002. With Balananda Sadhu bearing the Vel and Saman showing the Pada Yatra standard, we proceed from Chemmalai to Pulmodai by fishing boat under a brilliant sky to circumvent a broad No Man's Land of uncharted minefields. This photo appeared in The Sunday Island of 16 June 2002.
