Context: The cartoon depicts four former presidents, all except for Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunge, holding a basket of flowers and asking if she doesn’t wish to place her hand on it as well. In Sri Lanka, it is a cultural practice among Buddhists to place their hands on offerings made during religious ceremonies, including flower baskets, to symbolise their support for the gesture.
