Mask

Hung up our masks last night.

Raksha masks are also used to perform Raksha dances in Kolam Maduwa. According to legends, Sri Lanka was earlier ruled by a race called Rakshasas whose king was Ravana of the Ramayana. Rakshasas could assume various forms. Although they have 24 forms of Rakshasas only few are performed in Kolam dance. this is the Naga Raksha (Cobra Mask).

A busy day today before departing for the UK tonight
