These people are the makers of “Sesatha” shades of Sri Lankan tradition. The circular shades with poles are shown in the picture. Shade making is our tradition. There are about seventy families and paddy cultivation is the primary source of income for them. These poor people sweat a lot to make our traditional shades. To value their effort, I’m presenting the theme, “Shades of Tradition”.

Featured: The moment I am sharing is my idea about desert life and culture.

I have one brother, my father works at the Colombo Municipal Council and my mother is a housewife. In my free time I read story books and draw. I like spending time with my family and helping others. I don’t like when people are treated unfairly. I want to become a world renowned artist and bring Sri Lankan tradition to the world.
