This is the third installment of our recent journey to the mysterious, island nation of Sri Lanka.
While up in the mountains of Kandy, we were treated to a performance of Kandyan Dance at the Kandyan Art Association & Cultural Centre.
Kandyan Dance almost disappeared at the end of the reign of the last king in 1815. The British decided to put an end to his kingdom, as he was known to cruelly execute individuals not obeying his commands. One example was having tribal leaders executed by impalement for disobeying his order to build his manmade lake.
