Kandyan Dance: Sri Lanka
This is the third installment of our recent journey to the mysterious, island nation of Sri Lanka.
While up in the mountains of Kandy, we were treated to a performance of Kandyan Dance at the Kandyan Art Association & Cultural Centre.
Kandyan Dance almost disappeared at the end of the reign of the last king in 1815. The British decided to put an end to his kingdom, as he was known to cruelly execute individuals not obeying his commands. One example was having tribal leaders executed by impalement for disobeying his order to build his manmade lake.
Enjoy!

The kandyan dance is highly sophisticated and refined. It flourished under the Kandyan kings from the 16th through the 19th centuries, and today it is considered the national dance of Sri Lanka. It has four distinct varieties: The pantheru, naiyadi, udekki, and ves (the most artistic and renowned). Its energetic movements and postures are reminiscent of India’s kathakali. Besides the above four styles, there are 18 vannamas (dance enactments) including the gajaga vannama, depicting the elephant; the hanuma vannama, the monkey; and the mayura vannama, the peacock. These beautiful animal movements and abstract impersonations have been distilled and perfected over several hundred years.
Hindu mythological themes were originally the subjects of kandyan dances, the most popular being Rama’s crossing over to Lanka with the help of his monkey general and his reunion with Sita. Gradually, stories of kings and legendary heroes and mimes of birds and forest beasts were introduced. The Kandyan kings elevated the dance to such beauty and skill that the Buddhists began admitting it into their temple courtyards as a tribute to the glory of their religion. It became a part of the annual August Perahera festival, in which a procession of gilded elephants, palanquins, saffron-robed monks, drummers, and chanters move majestically to the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, where the Buddha’s tooth is enshrined. The kandyan dancers are a glittering attraction as they perform en route to the temple.
A kandyan dancer wears a pagoda-like conical silver headpiece with glistening forehead fringe and huge earpieces, many-stranded bead necklaces of silver and ivory across his torso, beaten-silver epaulets on his biceps, and hollow silver anklets filled with silver beads to make them rattle. He spins with sudden leaps and reaches violent climaxes of geometric patterns, articulated with sudden right and left turns of his head. When telling a story, he sings descriptive passages and enacts them with spurts of dancing.
