Nainativu and the Indrakshi identification

The photograph in this entry is associated with Nagapooshani worship at Nainativu in Sri Lanka. Indrakshi is the name retained from the directory's Peetha list. The connection between a list name and a present-day shrine needs to be stated explicitly rather than assumed from the country alone.

Nainativu is an island destination. The image credit can help identify the pictured temple, but cannot confirm current crossings, entry arrangements or the geographical interpretation of every Lanka Peetha tradition.
