At Kandy, we also happened to see a cultural show organised for tourists showcasing the various dance and music forms. The picture here is traditionally that of the soldiers before going for a war. I should say the "Mayillatam" - yes the same we have back in south India was awesome. It is the dance form derived majorly from the fact that Lord Karthikeyan travels on a peacock. "Mayil" in tamil stands for peacock. The ladies displayed amazing flexibility and the gents breathtaking agility. Pictures are not enough to do justice here, human eyes need to see it to feel it.
P.S:
In my earlier snap, I missed out on a trivia. At a buddhist temple or monastery, you never show your back to the Lord. Dont know the reason exactly, probably some kinda respect.
And this post completed my plan of Sri Lankan pictures and am kind of finishing it off fast. Quebec-Montreal trip pictures are coming soon.
I do have a lot of pictures from Sri Lanka, yet I hope I gave a taste of what Sri Lanka has to offer with the choice of my pictures here.
