Saddened
people in their thousands throng around
the funeral pyre containing the remains
of Most Venerable Agga Maha Panditha
Balangoda Ananda Maithreya Maha Nayaka
Thera in the premises of the Balangoda
MMV prior to it being set on fire. People
overwhelmed with utter sense of grief and
vast emotion was visibly apparent at the
time. (Pic by
