The place which perform the traditional drum beating for the Tooth Relic.. this drum beating happens at every times oblations hold. Since hundreds of years, this place used for this purpose..
This is one of my favourite places in Sri Dalada Maligawa. These drummers are a unique kind of people , who are dedicated to this service. They are very well trained for this job and it comes from the family. They dedicate their whole life for this Service. It is so nice to see and listen how they play these drums.
The historical value of the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy cannot be overstated. When one enters the Temple of the Tooth, one realizes that. The Temple of the Tooth, a place of enlightenment for the Buddhists, is also a place full of various features.Climb up the entrance steps to the palace, and after entering the palace through the aisle, you will find the Hewitt Pavilion. Built with twenty ornate stone pillars, this floor looks like an open area. This beautiful place is one of the most important places in the Temple of the Tooth. This heavyweight group includes two drummers, two drummers, a trumpet player, a tambourine player, and Hakgedirala. This Hewitt Pavilion is open to them. This section is the centerpiece of the Temple of the Tooth. It has long been known as the Nature Pavilion as it is a place where air and sunlight come naturally.The Temple of the Tooth, built between 1805 and 1812, was designed by Alakeshwara Dingiappu or Devendra Mulacharya. This open hall, 400 feet wide and 118 feet long, was reserved for the playing of heavies during the reign of King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe. During the Perahera, flowers were placed in this section for spraying of burnt flowers at the time of carrying the coffin.
A very spiritual place for Buddhists in Sri Lanka, comparing this place to temples in Poland, Jasna Góra in Częstochowa is such an equivalent, therefore, going there for decency and respect for another faith, you should quietly admire what surrounds us and there is really something to admire to everyone visit this place
This place is also known as the Hewisi Bandana Pavilion. Located in the basement. It is in this place that the drums, which are required for daily and frequent rituals of worship, are honored. Percussionists carry out this work in a manner that is unique to our own and in keeping with the Sinhala and Sri Lankan traditions. They are polite, kind and accommodating and are ready for the Dalada Maligawa. This is a well-reflected position of duty above God.
