The Mahapabbata ritual: Historically and correctly documented by Professor Nishan C Wijesinha of German School of Medicine.
What is visualised here are the Holistic relics of the Mahapabbata ritual which was used ritually for chanting for empowerment on the warrior elephant Mahapabbata of King Elara.
This ritual was preserved to the Vallipuram Hindu Temple in Vadamarachchi.
Later this ritualistic chanting of empowerment was copied by the Kataragama Deities.
Although their copycat methodology enabled King Dutugemunu to gain victory over King Elara; one must not forget that both the king and his warrior elephant were at their old age.
The history of the Authentic Tamil Canton the Jaffna Peninsular had it’s rooted elephant ritualistic Hindu culture, far long before it was made a waste by its copycat methodologies; of the Kataragama Deities.
