An Indian survivor orphaned by the tsunami weeps during a function organized to pay homage to the victims of the tragedy, in Nagapattinam of southern India, yesterday. India offered tearful tributes to the thousands killed with countrywide memorial services, silent marches and beachside ceremonies. India lost more than 16,000 people and suffered material damage estimated by the United Nations at US$2.5 billion.
