Gini madu [ same as Gam madu or devol madu ] is a ritual performed by traditional Low country dancers in Sri Lanka. Madu [ or Maduwa ] is a place where these dancers praise Goddess Paththini to shower peace and prosperity to all countrymen. Moreover organizers and spectators believe that evil would be crushed and all hearts would be filled with good deeds. Dance schedule is called 'pelapaliya' and it is a list of dances. Some dancers wear traditional Sri Lankan masks made out of low weight wood and others wear elegant & bright dancing costumes. Yak bera [ devil's drum ] is a part of low country dancing form and a definite inclusion in a ritual like 'Madu'. Usually 'maduwa' is organized by a leading 'kapu mahattaya' or shaman of a Paththini shrine and sponsored by a prominent person or an organization in the area. 'Maduwa' as a low country ritual and 'Kohomba kankariya' as an Up-country event has lot of similarities. On 14th August 2016 a Gini Madu Shanthikarmaya was performed at Batuwatta Temple, Ragama, Sri Lanka. It started around 7.00pm and lasted till following day morning.
