What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada was fascinated by the distinct Middle Eastern atmosphere of Kattankudy, noting how the date trees and Islamic architecture differ from the rest of Sri Lanka. He was particularly impressed by the business-oriented nature of the community and the presence of a replica of the Al Aqsa Mosque. He concluded that the area feels more like a coastal city in Yemen or Iraq than a typical Sri Lankan town.
