About: "Salu Paliya" or Shawl Dance is a part of the rich traditions of southern Sri Lanka. All dancers wear wooden masks on their faces, some comic, others demonic. Mask and drum are inseparable in low-country dance.
The salu paliya is one of 18 healing rituals or sanni yakuna, based on the belief that certain sicknesses of body and mind are due to the malevolent influences of demons and can be cured by driving out the demon responsible for such affliction, through ritualistic dancing.
