Symbolism of the
Medicine Masks
The classification of disease used in Sri Lankan Sanni/Medicine masks is still relevant today.
Sri Lanka has a rich culture of theatre called kolam and exorcism called tovil, which make use of actors, exorcists, masks, music, and dance. The Sanni Yakuma is the best known exorcism ritual, in which numerous sanni (disease) demons are portrayed by exorcists wearing elaborate masks.
