In traditional Sinhalese culture, storytelling is an art form that requires skill, creativity, and emotional intelligence. The storytellers, known as "Katha Kereema," would often gather audiences in village squares, temples, or homes, using their voice, gestures, and expressions to bring the tales to life. The art of storytelling has been passed down through generations, with each storyteller adding their unique flair and interpretation to the narrative.
