Description:
26 Nissaka A very steep yellow road in a mountainous district, and at the foot of it people examining a large rock, marking the spot where a murder was committed. Travellers look inquisitively at the popularly called "Night weeping stone" lying on the road. Legend has it that the stone called out to a priest to rescue a child from its dying pregnant mother who had been attacked by bandits at night.
