| Description |
Raksha masks are also used to perform Raksha dances in Kolam Maduwa. According to legends, Sri Lanka was earlier ruled by a race called Rakshasas whose king was Ravana of the Ramayana. Rakshasas could assume various forms. Although they have 24 forms of Rakshasas only few are performed in Kolam dance. Those are: • Naga Raksha (Cobra Mask) • Maru Raksha (Mask of the Demon of Death) • Gurulu Raksha (Mask of the Bird) • Rathnakuta Raksha • Purnaka Raksha [masksariyapalasl.com] |
