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 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.

Dear listmembers,
the renaming of the brahmanical Skandakumāra-devale at Kandy into a
Kataragama-devale must have happened at the beginning of the 19th
century according to my research. It is not very long ago but I was
without success to get any information about this issue. After the
renaming of the Skandakumāra-shrine into a Kataragama-shrine the
depictions of the original Kataragama are now vanishing and replaced by
pictures of Skandakumāra.
Maybe someone of you can provide some details on the name change?
Thank you in advance

Heiner
