Ancient people of Sri Lanka
December 5, 2009
The ancient inhabitants of Sri Lanka were called Veddhas.They lived in caves in the forest.They did not farm but lived by hunting animals and collecting fruit and honey from the forest.
They lived in small groups.They had their own customs and traditions.They selected the oldest member of the community as their chief.All the others respected and obeyed him.
Uruwarige Tissahamy was a famous Vaddha chief. visit our e-village http://hakmana.org
