Description Ambalangoda, a coastal town of Sri Lanka, is famous for puppetry, handcrafted masks and mask dance. These art forms are practiced by the fishing communities of the region and the traditions have been passed down by generations, but they are now practiced by few people. The community has formed around 15 puppetry groups, collectively called ‘Puppeteers of Lanka’, to promote the art of puppetry in the country.
