angam pora matiral arts

A lost and found heritage

Banned by the colonisers who saw it for the threat it was, the Sri Lankan martial art Angampora was practiced in secret by a devout few; but now the sleeping giant wakes in Piliyandala, bringing with it the ferocity, discipline and knowledge it has gathered for over 30,000 years.

Gunasoma can grind a piece of quartz into a perfect eye-glass lens with the same skill his ancestor developed during the reign of King Buwanekabahu IV - which makes his skill a national treasure.

A musical mystery

Deep in the heart of Batticaloa a musical mystery exists, it is said that on a full moon night the waters bring a song like no other. If you dip your oar into the water under the Kallady Bridge on such a night and listen at its other end, you will hear beautiful music play for you. Some say it is the fish that sing, others say it is the waters that make the music, but no-one who has heard it will ever forget it.
