New Experiences in Sri Lanka

Batik in Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan arts and crafts are synonymous with its tradition and are oftentimes reflected in local lifestyles, interiors and architecture. The Central Province once thrived in arts and craft and once paved way for the bloom in the “Batik” industry. Originating in Java, Indonesia, Batik was introduced by the Dutch at the turn of the 19th century. Over time, it took its own designs and colour that thrived prior to the free/open economy.

With the challenges faced today due to urbanisation, free-market movements and lifestyle, Batik and its traditions face a bitter reality. However, we came across a young lady, whose dedication and love for paintings and batiks have inspired some of us.

Meet a Typical Venomologist
This could be one of the most intriguing and interesting encounters. In Sri Lankan villages, a “Venomologist” specialises in treating patients who are bitten by snakes. These doctors practice with a range of unproven scientific methods and therapies that have been passed down through generations.
