Who they are
The Bodhivansha are a Sinhalese community in Sri Lanka with deep historical and cultural ties to the island’s Buddhist tradition. Their name and identity derive from veneration of the sacred Bodhi tree, a central element of their ancestral heritage.
Integrated into the country’s social and religious life, they communicate in Sinhala and preserve devotional practices that intertwine community duties, spiritual practices, and ancient local customs.
