The Minister, who is the brother of Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse, and his entourage arrived here from Agra last evening and took part in the 'paritran paath' which would continue till tomorrow.
Earlier the Sri Lankan group, consisting of men and women clad in traditional clothes, took out a 'shobha yatra' (procession) carrying the golden dome ('kalash'). The dome was place in the stupa by Rajapakse this morning.
In 2004, the then President of Sri Lanka Chandrika Kumaratunge had also donated a golden dome to the stupa.
