Sin: ගල්ගමුව galgamuva – Tam: கல்கமுவ galkamuva
‘Rocky Village’ NWP, Sri Lanka
Sin: gala, ‘stone, rock, rocky place’; and gama/gamuwa, ‘village’.
Tragically Galgamuwa has become the centre of a human-elephant conflict, as herds of elephants who have lost their home ranges and corridors find themselves trapped in shrub forests surrounded by villages.
