Live Stream Video

This is the recording of the live stream. Unfortunately due to being streamed from outside, the video quality is a bit poor and in most parts only Siladasa is audible due to being the only person with a microphone. Nevertheless, it should allow those who were not there to experience some of the spirit of the ceremony.

Meanings of the Names
