This country was famous for the production and export of gemstones. Manik Pola, the open market of gems was held on the street in Beruwala. Many dealers were doing their business in spots. The sale and purchase were done on a negotiation basis here. So it was necessary to be able to make a judgmental decision of the quality for everyone working here.
The man in the photo was one of the dealers. He was checking the quality of the gem in his hand with a serious look.
