Who they are

The Demala Gattara are a distinct community living in Sri Lanka, integrated into Sinhalese society and with their own historical roots. Over the generations, they have adopted the Sinhala language and local customs, although they still face stigma associated with their social status. Most follow traditional Buddhist practices, seeking spiritual harmony, dignity, and acceptance in their daily lives.
