Encounter with a wild elephant - Buththala, Sri Lanka.
Travelling on the road from Sella Katharagama to Buththala we saw this wild elephant on the road. I was with a group of elders from Avissawella doing a 'Vandanaa Gamana'. This elephant had a history of attacking a van in the past. The driver of the bus was very cool and stopped the bus with the engine running. The elephant first felt the 'puwak mal' tied to the front of the bus. It subsequently came on the drivers side of the bus. At this moment the driver gently moved the bus forward and picked up speed and left the surprised animal far behind.

Murikandy Pillayaar, A9 Highway, Sri Lanka.
Murikandy is a near halfway point between Jaffna and Kandy. Hence it got its Tamil name (Muri-break, Kandy-Kandy). 'Pillayaar' the God who removes obstacles. He is also called 'Vikkinarasa' in Tamil meaning 'King (supervising) over obstructions'. A temple dedicated to 'Pillayaar' is situated here. Travellers stop and pay pooja at this temple breaking a coconut to propitate 'Pillayaar' who would help to remove all obstacles to ones travel. I took this video of a 'poosai' at this temple.
