EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, circa 1890, showcases two traditional Sri Lankan Devil Dancers in a mesmerizing performance, accompanied by a barrel drum. The dancers, dressed in intricately designed costumes, expertly execute detailed mudras or hand positions that hold deep symbolic and narrative meaning in Sri Lankan culture. Devil Dancing is a traditional art form native to Sri Lanka, which originated from ancient Hindu and Buddhist rituals. The dancers wear elaborate masks and costumes, representing various demons and evil spirits, and perform with great energy and intensity. The barrel drum, known as the 'gaththi kuliya,' is an essential accompaniment to the dance, providing the rhythm and tempo for the performance. The mudras used by the dancers in this photograph are believed to have various meanings and narratives. For instance, some mudras represent different aspects of the Hindu deity, Shiva, while others depict various emotions or stories from Sri Lankan folklore. The precise and deliberate way in which the dancers hold their hands adds to the overall mystique and allure of the performance. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka and the fascinating world of traditional Devil Dancing. The intricate costumes, the expressive mudras, and the rhythmic drumming all come together to create a visually stunning and culturally significant moment in time.
