Passing Kokavil, Murikandy, on the A9 Highway, Sri Lanka.


The Kokavil TV transmitting station.

Railway lines - the old track awaiting reconstruction.

The historic Murikandy Pillayaar Temple. Most of the travelers on this ancient road would stop here and break a coconut to the God Pillayaar, to protect them on their onward journey. The tradition is very much active even now.
