The Chief Incumbent of the Hunupitiya Gangaramaya Temple, Ven. Dr Kirinde Assaji Nayaka Thera has requested the public to refrain from queuing for the exposition of the sacred Devnimori relics of Lord Buddha at the Hunupitiya Gangaramaya Temple in Colombo, after 10.00 pm today.
Addressing the media today, Ven. Kirinde Assaji Nayaka Thera said that there was only a specific number of people who could be allowed per day to view the sacred relics brought from India.
Stating that arrangements have been made to allow as many people as possible the opportunity to view the sacred relics, Ven. Kirinde Assaji Nayaka Thera said that, however, it is not possible to extend the exposition.
He revealed that an Indian delegation has arrived in Sri Lanka for the return of the Sacred relics.
As such, he said, if queuing is halted from 10.00 pm today, then it could be made possible for those already in the queue to view the sacred relics tomorrow, the last day of the exposition. (Newswire)
