The black-smith and his hearth, Nilavarai, Jaffna, Sri Lanka.

This black-smith had a shop set up near the deepwell at Nilvarai, Jaffna. You can see the hand operated bellows, the hearth and a piece of rail, the latter used as the anvil. This is a timeless picture of Jaffna.

The road from Chunnaakam to Kopay passes the 'Nilaverai Deep well'. The first picture shows a part of the road. The second picture shows the surface of the fresh water deep well. This well has an inexhaustible supply of fresh water.
