The Ruhunu Maha Kataragama Devalaya, under the guidance of chief custodian Dishan Gunasekera, is organising a cultural event called ‘Rhythms of Sri Lanka’. This weekly event will be held every Friday and Saturday from 7.30 pm to 8.30 pm at the Dewalaya premises. The primary objective of this event is to raise funds to save lives at the Apeksha Cancer Hospital in Maharagama.
The event showcases various traditional dance forms of Sri Lanka, such as the Kandyan Dance (Udarata Natum), Low Country Dance (Pahatharata Natum), Ves Dance, and Pantheru Dance.
It offers an authentic cultural experience for both local and foreign tourists. The event provides an opportunity to celebrate Sri Lankan heritage and contribute to a noble cause, beyond just entertainment. Dishan Gunasekere said.
The event will eventually uplift the lives of small business owners in the Kataragama area by generating new revenue streams.
