Discussion
I recreated this article from the original Kataragama article as it deals with a completely different issue. That is the Buddhist takeover or a temple that was essentialy a hindu place of worship.

 * Reference regarding takeover of the temple “This especially is embarassing to many Sinhala Buddhists. Today they consider Kataragama unlike Kali as a national Buddhist god, since the shrine a few decades ago completely fell into the hands of the Sinhala Buddhists (see also Gombrich and Obeyesekere, 1988, p. 99 and Chapter 5). Knowing that Buddha has condemned "billa," they feel somewhat ashamed that Kadavera is accepting "billa" from people, especially businessmen, and exercising harmful powers near or at least not far from the Kataragama shrine. They often try to deny it or to cover it up, when I ask for information about it”

 * Raveen, stop copying and pasting copyright articles here at Wikipedia from Hinduism Today. http://www.hinduismtoday.com/archives/1986/12/1986-12-09.shtml -- this is a direct cut and paste and utterlybiased.


 * I will rewrite the article with Hinduism Today as well as other sources as references. But the article is not biased; RaveenS 13:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
