Reconstruction Of A Hindu Temple Destroyed During The Civil War In Sri Lanka

Workers use an axe along with a chisel, a wedge, and a wooden mallet to split the trunks of coconut palm trees during re-construction of the Raja Gopuram tower of the Arul Eswari Muthumariamman Hindu temple in Jaffna, Sri Lanka on August 15, 2017. The tower was destroyed by bombing during the 26-year long civil war between the Sri Lankan Army and the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam). This is just one of the many reminders of the deep scars left behind by the civil war that killed an estimated 40,000 people. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
