 Mask art in Sri Lanka๐Ÿ‘น


Mask art is a traditional art of the Sinhalese people. It is associated with the dance traditions of the up country, low country and Sabaragamuwa. 

      Sri Lanka is an island famous for its masks. While we can not say for sure how far back the history of this mask art goes, it is safe to say that it is several centuries old. It is evident from their history that these masks were also associated with the ancestors of Sri Lanka. That history testifies that they painted their own bodies and faces to perform their sacrifices. It is no secret that mask art in Sri Lanka represents a variety of cultural elements. At the same time, the mask art has made a reasonable contribution to the culture of Asia. 





Ambalangoda in the Southern Province is one of the most famous masked cities in Sri Lanka. However, the city is famous not only for carving masks but also for selling masks. Masks have also become very popular in the Ambalangoda area among foreign tourists. These modern masks are adorned with bright colors and have also been used as a ploy to lure tourists to sell masks. Natural colors are often used to color these masks, which has been a great help in polishing the naturalness and culture of the masks. These masks are often used for various invisible forces. Sri Lanka can be described as an island famous for offering invisible forces such as demons and gods.
