Soldiers from Sri Lanka’s 23 Division held a Buddhist religious ceremony at the Security Force Headquarters in the Easter Province, to mark the 25th anniversary of the division last Wednesday.
Buddhist monks were invited to the military base in the Eastern town of Punani, where following a Guard Turnout and Guard of Honour, an all-night Pirith chanting ceremony was held.
