Stitching the dress for Sinha Raja, the sub leader of the elephant troop at the Dalada Maligawa, is a dream come true for Sasanka Alwis Edirisuriya. Sinha Raja is the main elephant that parades the day pageant (peraheral), the final pageant following the completion of five Kumbal and five Randoli pageants. It is during this pageant that the Relics Casket is carried from the Gedige Viharaya back to the Dalada Maligawa.<\/span><\/p>\n

”\u00a0Edirisuriya said that many of her school friends who are overseas have been generous enough to donate money in their capacity for her cause; especially during the lockdown period”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cInitially I was employed as a primary school teacher, but I have always had an interest in creative work,\u201dEdirisuriya said in an interview with the Daily Mirror. \u201cI wanted to do dress designing and from being a nursery teacher I started doing saree designing. I had visited the Dalada Maligawa and it was a dream to stitch a dress for an elephant. Subsequently I happened to meet the former General Secretary of the Maligawa and he introduced me to another contact. Initially they asked me to stitch a costume for the main elephant of the second Randoli pageant, but the dress turned out to be too glamorous. Thereafter it was decided that the costume would be used on the main elephant parading the day pageant.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI stitched the first costume back in 2021 to Sinha Raja, the main elephant of the day pageant. It took me around one year to stitch the first costume as I didn\u2019t have prior experience. But I had a friend who stitched an elephant costume for the first Randoli Pageant and she supported me to get measurements etc. Last year\u2019s costume was done entirely from appliqu\u00e9 and I added stones and other decorative material. But this year I finished it within six months as it was hand-painted and I added all the beads, stones to make it more attractive. I plan to stitch costumes for the day pageant as long as I can,\u201d she continued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This time I stitched four elephant dresses and it cost me between 12-15 lakhs. With the prevailing economic crisis it is a challenge to purchase beads, stones and other materials since the prices continued to soar. But I like to mention the support extended by shop owners in Pettah\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking about finances, Edirisuriya said that many of her school friends who are overseas have been generous enough to donate money in their capacity especially during the lockdown period. \u201cThis time I stitched four elephant dresses and it cost me between 12-15 lakhs. With the prevailing economic crisis it is a challenge to purchase beads, stones and other materials since the prices continued to soar. But I like to mention the support extended by shop owners in Pettah. They have been quite helpful right throughout and they admire the fact that I contribute to the Kandy Esala Perahera,\u201d said Edirisuriya.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStitching a 20-30kg costume is not easy and if not for Waruni\u2019s support, Edirisuriya would have been in a tough spot. \u201cWaruni helped me without any expectations and I\u2019m grateful to her for all that she has done. She had much patience throughout the process and helped me in pasting beads and completing the costume,\u201d added Edirisuriya.\u00a0 She thanked her husband for arranging the workshop premises where she initially designed sarees and was later used to design elephant costumes. \u201cI feel it is a blessing to get an opportunity to stitch a dress for an elephant. I was heavily invested in completing the costume that I sometimes missed household chores. But my husband and two sons supported me in every way possible and I\u2019m ever so grateful to them. I would like to mention C. W Karunaratne, former Secretary General of Sri Dalada Maligawa, Pradeep Miyanapalawa and my dear friend Minoka Ruwanpathirana for placing their trust in me and giving me an opportunity to make a dream come true,\u201d concluded Edirisuriya.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
