This is the ninth consecutive year that the samithy is hosting such a lunch for the monkey’s. The lunch, set on the hilltop, comprised the traditional dishes,. After serving the lunch on 17 banana leaves, the hosts moved away so that the primates could enjoy the feast with out fear.
The leader of the Monkey came forward initially. He tested the meal and on being convinced that every thing was okay gave the signal for the others to have their fill.
