‘Nerthanjali’, Town Hall, Avissawella, Sri Lanka. DDD 3771 Nayyandi vannama Kuweni.

'Kuweni' was a Queen of the mythical Yaksha clan of Sri Lanka. When the outlawed Prince Vijaya arrived from Lala in India, he was enchanted by Kuweni and took her to wife. Kuweni betrayed her own clan to Prince Vijaya, who defeated the Yaksha clan in battle. Vijaya wanted to marry a Princess of royal lineage, from South India and threw Kuweni out of his house. The heart broken Kuweni returns with her children, to seek succor with her clan. The angry Yaksha clan turns on her and kills her. The children are spared and according to legend become the 'Veddhas' - the aboriginal tribes of Sri Lanka.

This dance sequence relives the Queen Kuweni's last moments.
It is titled ' Kuwenige vilaapaya' - 'The wail of Kuweni'
