Navy renders assistance to bring stone Buddha statue to Thalathuduwa Forest Hermitage

The Navy, on 10^th November 2019, rendered assistance to bring a stone Samadhi Buddha statue to the Thalathuduwa Forest Hermitage located on an island by Koggala Oya in Galle.

Upon a request by the Dayaka Sabha of the forest hermitage from the Navy, this meritorious task was assigned to a diving team attached to the Southern Naval Command. Accordingly, the stone Buddha statue was brought from the Koggala Air Force Base Jetty to the forest hermitage, crossing the Koggala Oya by a barge.

The Navy’s contribution for the successful conduct of this meritorious deed was praised by Venerable Elle Indasobhitha Thero of the Thalathuduwa Forest Hermitage and devotees present on this occasion.
