Handicrafts

History mentions that crafting of these were limited to a section of people who were given royal patronage and were identified as people belonging to a specific caste (there were many castes and one such caste was in the business of making these artifacts). This type of segregation helped to give a unique identity to this industry over the times. Even today one would find the same authentic procedures involved in the making of such handicrafts strictly observed. These handicrafts are an integral part of the Sri Lankan culture. Sri Lanka being a country in the tropics, where many a colourful facades of nature are omnipresent, it is not out of place that many of these handicrafts are quite vibrant and dramatic.
