  • Colour and Cultural Dress: the Case of the Kandyan Kingdom of Sri Lanka
    02nd International Conference on Apparel Textiles and Fashion Design COLOUR AND CULTURAL DRESS: THE CASE OF THE KANDYAN KINGDOM OF SRI LANKA Dr Gayathri Madubhani Ranathunga Senior Lecturer, Fashion Design and Product Development, Department of Textile and Clothing Technology, Faculty of Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. [email protected] ABSTRACT Sri Lanka, a Island situated at the southern tip of the Indian sub- continent processes a culture and tradition of over 2500 years. Therefore, the perception of colour in dress has been derived through inherited values, norms and customs, Thus, colour, dress and culture have been interwoven into the lives of the people of the Island.Fashion designing, the essential component that plays a vital role in the apparel industry at present, deserves a careful and comprehensive study. Creating new fashions is the key to product development in the industry. A new creation would not simply incubate unless it conforms to some underlying concepts.The objective of this research is to discuss cultural explanations for how people perceived colour and its affective meanings in dress. The selected study setting of the research is the Kandyan era of Sri Lanka (16th Century AD to 1815) where traditional perception of colour has changed with the influence of foreign cultures. The Kandyan era has continued with as living culture to the present day. The research was carried out by studying folklore, wall paintings, original dresses which depict the dress of the era, sketches of foreign diplomats, relevant to the subject. According to the cultural exploration on colour perception, it was found that people perceived colour in a common way although there were some differences in perception at individual level.

  • Kandyan Kingdom Was Ruled by Nine Kings Who Belonged to Different Races, Religion and Cultural Backgrounds As a Result of They H
    Title – ‘Indian Influences in King’s Costumes of Ancient Sri Lankan Kandyan Era’. Authors – By Nimal De Silva, senior professor, Faculty of Architecture, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka And Ms. Gayathri Madubhani Ranatunga, Lecturer, Fashion Design and Product Development, Dept. of Textile and Clothing Technology, Faculty of Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka Introduction- Historical Background Sri Lanka is centrally located in the Indian Ocean below the southern tip of the Indian peninsula; being separated by the Palk Straits which is only 35Km long, Thus Sinhalese had continuous Indian influences since time immemorial. According to the great chronicle Mahavamsa1 the first human settlement of Ceylon begins with the arrival of Vijaya2 and his 700 companions who had been banished for misconduct from the Kingdom of ‘Sihapura’ in Northern India3. According to the Mahavamsa the entry of Buddhism to Sri Lanka occurred in the region of Devanampiya Tissa (250-210 BC) with the patronage of the great Mauran Emperor Asoka4. Therefore ,as the nearest and the biggest sub- continent; India has been influencing Sri Lanka in cultural , religion , art and crafts, economical and political aspects for over its history. Making a Sri Lankan own Indian contribution is excessive. The relationship between Sri Lanka and India had always been one mutual interdependence specially through religion and culture. This sentimental attachment cut across geographical barriers and gathered around one cultural chain. Indian influences signify through many aspects as customs, attitudes, religious rituals, vocabulary, food, art and craft, architecture and specially through dress. From 3BC to 15 AD there is a chronology of dress evolution in Sri Lanka which is shown through retrieved pictorial, archival evidences.

  • Economic Background of Dambadeniya, Yapahuva, Kurunegala, Gampola and Kotte That Led to Social Changes in the Medieval Period of Sri Lanka
    Volume 2 Issue 3 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND December 2015 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Economic Background of Dambadeniya, Yapahuva, Kurunegala, Gampola and Kotte that led to Social Changes in the Medieval Period of Sri Lanka N. A. Wimalasena University of Peradeniya, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka Abstract The economic factor can be regarded as the decision of social development in a human society and with that development of the economic situation; various structures of a society similarly are described. Several scholars have analyzed through their various researches that commercial activities and development of commerce are major facts which a society will organize systematically in the world. The economic factor which was a reason for the origin and development of socio- political organization of ancient Sri Lanka can be studied under two major divisions. Those are an economy based on agricultural activities and economy based on trading activities. R. A. L. H. Gunawardhana has suggested that periods of prolific activity in building of irrigation works in Sri Lanka coincided with the most flourishing periods of trade. The explanation for this is that commercial gain provided the resources for hydraulic engineering. He points out that there was only one new major irrigation project undertaken between the seventh and the ninth centuries, in sharp contrast to the intense irrigation activity in the period immediately proceeding. H. J. Benda has clearly shown from his primary studies that economy based on agriculture and commerce has affected the changes of society and political organization. Therefore, from this research, the growth of commercial activities will be discussed based on those views and how the commercial activities affected the society.
