THE BURGHER ELITE AND KANDYAN DANCE

THE BURGHER ELITE AND KANDYAN DANCE September 9, 2016, 7:32 pm By KAMALIKA PIERIS Several members of the Burgher elite of the twentieth century took an interest in Udarata dance. Dr Andreas Nell (1864-1956) was a medical specialist in eye diseases working at Victoria Memorial Eye Hospital, Colombo from 1905-1924. He was educated at Trinity College Kandy. He was interested in Sinhala culture and had written on many aspects of it, including ‘Some Trees & Plants of Mahavamsa’.

Vijaya” was not a large ship but then, we were not a large Navy, still proud of a vessel that was like a cork in heavy seas, tossing around but still afloat just like this writer, in my endeavour to give my eLanka & Lanka Times readers a very brief but hopefully interesting “history” of ” my lovely Island home’, ...
