Accepted Answer

Kandyan dance originates from the central hills and features highly athletic, acrobatic leaps and regal costumes, often honoring deities and royalty. Low Country dance, from the southern coasts, is deeply rooted in spiritual healing and exorcism rituals, famously utilizing dramatic, colorful wooden masks depicting various demons and animal spirits.
