The Durbar of Kandyan chiefs which opened the after-dinner festivities was a striking dislay of Oriental colour and grouping, but with little of the grandeur of the Indian States.
The Punce received upwards or a hundred of these bejewelled and brocadedcbieftains, who may be likened to heads of clans.
