The Soul Of Sri Lanka.

                           💃  KANDYAN   DANCE.


Kandyan  dance  is  the  traditional  and  national  dance  of  Sri  Lanka,  originating  from  the  hill  country.  It  began  as  an  ancient  ritual  called  ' Kohomba  Kankariya'.  In  the  past, only  men  performed  this  dance, but  today, both  men  and  women  take  part  in  this  vibrant  art  form  to  celebrate  our  culture.


This  dance  is  very  energetic  and  inspired  by  animal  movements.  The  'Geta  Beraya'  provides  the  rhythm, and  there  are  five  main  types, including  Ves  and  Vannam. The 'Ves'  costume  is  the  most  famous  attire, featuring  a beautiful  silver   headpiece  and  a  beaded  chest  plate. During  the  dance, the  silver  ornaments  create  a  unique  and  rhythmic  sound.



Kandyan  dance  is  a  highlight  of  the  Kandy  Esala  Perahera.  It  includes  18 'Vannams'  that  describe  animals  like  elephants  and  peacocks.  Today,  it  is  taught  in  schools  and  is  loved  by  tourists  worldwide.  Preserving  this  art  is  essential  to  protect  Sri  Lanka's  unique  identity  for  the  future.

.                                DANCE  OF  THE  BIRDS ✍     The   morning  sky is painted blue, And tiny wings come rushing through. They sing a song both bright and sweet, A melody the heart can meet. They circle high, they dip, they glide, Like laughter carried far and wide. The world feels light, the day feels new, As birds bring joy in skies they flew.

Listening Water.

  Water 💧💦    Water is very important in our life😊. We drink water every day to stay healthy. People, animals and plants all need water to live. Seventy percent of the Earth is covered by water and about seventy percent of our body is water. Sometimes water looks nice and beautiful, but sometimes it can also be very dangerous especially in the flood season. Water helps trees and flowers grow. We also use water to cook, clean, and take a shower. I like water because it is fresh and cool. On hot days, I love drinking coconut water or swimming at the beach Water is life, so we must save and protect it every day!
