Description

The Vedda people, also known as Vadda, are recognised as the indigenous people of Sri Lanka. With their distinct language and culture, they were primarily hunter-gatherers, with a strong sense of stewardship for the land and animals of Sri Lanka. Whilst the traditional lifestyle of the Vedda has been disrupted by modern development, the value of their culture and traditions, particularly their connection with nature, is now more widely recognised and valued. We are pleased to be able to offer a range of traditionally crafted items such as jewellery and ornaments made with Kirindhi seeds from the jungle, ornamental weapons from wood, and coconut shell cups.
