Description
The thanaka is the yellowish-white cosmetic paste on the girl's face. It is made of ground bark. Apart from cosmetic beauty, thanaka also gives a cooling sensation and provides protection from sunburn. It's been in popular use for over 2000 years!

Superb capture my friend. I wonder if the cricket players also use the same sunscreen? God bless.
