Summary
| Description |
Outside of Athurugiriya we visit the home of an “Angam Maduwa,” a master of an ancient form of martial arts known as angampora, for a demonstration by some of his students, including a young woman. He is on the far left playing drums. Angampora is believed to have been a part of Sri Lankan culture for thousands of years. Concerned about the potential dangers of a civilian populace trained in a martial art, Sir Robert Brownrigg, the third Governor of British Ceylon from 1812 to 1820, banned the practice of angampora in 1817, driving it underground only to reemerge after independence in 1948.
