A 'Gypsy' - 'Ahikuntikaya' - foretelling the future, Sankapala, Sri Lanka.

The 'Ahikuntikayo' - the Gypsy tribe of Sri Lanka move from place to place pitching their camps on empty plots of land. The females go out and do 'fortune telling' by reading the palms and earn their living. I saw this woman doing her trade at Sankapala.
