A Version of the story of Sītā is related during the performance of the “Kohoābā Yakkama” or the “Kohoābā Kankāriya”, popularly called “Kankāriya”, one of the most interesting of ceremonies extant among the Sinhalese. The rite is supposed to have been first performed during the reign of Pṇḍduvāsadeva, the second Sinhalese king of Ceylon ( circa fifth century B.C.)
