Two More New Footprints Appear on Sri Paada Rock

A group of estate workers had come across two more new  foot prints,  which were said to be embedded about three inches into a rock boulder. They were said to be performing Poojas (rituals) there after putting up a makeshift shed over the prints in order to protect them and pouring saffron water over them in a show of reverence. The toes can clearly be seen in this footprint.

These two footprints are mysterious because no one approaches this rock which is situated in an area above the Moussakele Reservoir. Meanwhile, Police OIC Tyronne Ratnayake had requested the Commissioner General of Archaeology to conduct an archeological survey into a second set of footprints found on a rock located in a tea estate that lies in close proximity to the Sri Paada mountain range.
