Talk:Radala

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regarding the caption for the last photo on the page titled 'Radala', the former Diyawadana Nilame, Neranjan Wijeyeratne had been falsely accused without any facts or references. Please note that an umbrella had never been used for the Tooth Relic. It is a Golden Canopy which is used for it, and that too for the Randoli Perahara only.

In the history, Nilames have always used umbrellas since the very first Diyawadana Nilame. The same applies today too.

In addition, the Diyawadana Nilame, or for that matter, any person, is not allowed to wear shoes within the Dalada Maligawa premises. However, in the Perahara, any Nilame (Diyawadana and Basnayake Nilames) can wear shoes.

Therefore, please consider these facts and be kind enough to correct the false, misleading and baseless statements on that caption.
