A fire broke out on a Singapore-flagged container vessel MV X-Press Pearl anchored about 9.5 nautical miles (18km) northwest of Colombo awaiting entry into the port nine days ago.

Also known as \u201cDaha Ata Sannia\u201d or \u201cSanni Yakuma\u201d, it is a traditional exorcism ritual of Sinhala Buddhists on the southern coast and in the western parts of Sri Lanka. It is usually held with the intention of healing a sick person who is believed to be possessed by a demon. The ritual consists of 18 masks, which represent specific diseases or ailments that affect people. This ritual is performed today as a cultural spectacle rather than an exorcism ritual. However, due to its high cost and its longevity, it is not widely used. (Photo by Chamila Karunarathne\/EPA\/EFE)<\/p>\n
