Piegons - Source of beauty or divine mess?




There is belief that the piegons are the link to the human spirits and the food thrown by devotees are carried by these birds to the other side. While such beliefs and activities play a vital role in our culture and heritage the amount of mess they create by 'crapping' all over the stupas and religious relics and statues in the Janabahaa should also be taken into consideration. While the ambience of the Janabahaa is important strong efforts to limit the messiness and cleaning such mess on regular basis should be an ongoing effort. I am sure the devotees and the tourists alike would appreciate it....as we all know 'cleanliness is close to godliness'..
