The Kandyan cultural dance tradition is one of Sri Lanka’s most theatrical and technically accomplished art forms – costumed performances of Ves dancing, Kohomba Kankariya ritual movements, fire-walking, and the hypnotic rhythms of traditional drumming in elaborate brass-ornamented costumes that together create an evening experience both genuinely entertaining and culturally significant. Tripsring includes evening Kandyan cultural performances in its Kandy-based itineraries as an authentic and memorable introduction to the performing arts of the Sinhalese highlands.
