epa06128728 Sri Lanka Hindu female devotees chant religious stanzas invoking the blessings of God Muruga, or locally known as God Skanda or Kataragama, at the Siva Subramaniam Hindu Temple, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, 06 August 2017. A 10 day religious festival starts on the same daz and concludes with a chariot procession along the streets of Colombo and is held annually. With a history of some 125 years, this Hindu temple was built to worship Muruga and his consorts, Valli and Deivanai. Valli is believed to be a Sri Lankan and thus gains much reverence from Sri Lankans, both Tamil Hindus and Sinhalese Buddhists. EPA/M.A.PUSHPA KUMARA Dostawca: PAP/EPA.
