[INDOLOGY] Kataragama-shrine at Kandy

[Jonathan Silk]

Dear Dr Koch

I have not had any contact with him since my graduate student days, but
according to what I could quickly find online, Patrick Harrigan
<https://www.google.nl/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Patrick+Harrigan%22>
is still active (?) in researching specifically this site.
See https://umich.academia.edu/PatrickHarrigan
https://amesa.library.columbia.edu/scholars/723?locale=en
the latter with further links (not that the two website links are not
clickable because of some error but you can copy paste them individually).
Perhaps this is a useful contact.
