Who they are
The Porowakara are a Sinhalese community in Sri Lanka with historical roots in traditional forest occupations and agriculture. They speak Sinhala and preserve ancestral customs within the island’s rich culture. Community life is deeply shaped by Theravada Buddhism, expressed in local temples and in the celebrations that guide their families from generation to generation.
