The project was conducted under three phases, namely, cleaning the Nallur Kovil premises and Perumal Kovil premises in Nallur during the kovil festival and cleaning the premises of Nagadeepa Temple in Nainatheevu. This annual service project which is usually held in Adams Peak was shifted to the Northern part of the island this year with the aim of bringing about reconciliation and religious harmony.
