The title translates roughly as How to Read a Horoscope Chart, and the book is a Sinhala-language treatment of that subject by S. M. W. Rajapaksha, issued by Godage International Publishers of Colombo.
Horoscope reading remains part of ordinary life in Sri Lanka — consulted at births, marriages and the start of new ventures — and there is a steady Sinhala publishing tradition of handbooks written for readers who want to understand a chart rather than simply have one interpreted for them. This belongs to that tradition.
The text is in Sinhala throughout. There is no English edition or parallel translation, so comfortable reading ability in Sinhala is needed. Buyers who do not read the script should be aware of this before ordering; the astrological vocabulary in particular assumes a reader at home in the language.
It will suit Sinhala readers abroad with an interest in traditional astrology, students of the subject looking for material in the original language, and family or community libraries building a Sinhala-language section.
