 Students in a dancing class, learning 'Sinhala Natum' - Sinhalese dances, have a graduation ceremony. At this the anklets - 'Halamba' S, 'Silambu' T, are ceremonially tied. This is a religious ceremony. I took these pictures at such a ceremony at the Maniccawaththe Pansala, Avissawella on the 22nd March 2015.
