RUHUNA - AN ANCIENT CIVILISATION RE VISITED

Veteran scholar Dr. Prashantha Perera’s latest publication, titled Cultural Symbolism is a result of a prolonged comprehensive research study conducted in the fields of Art history, Sociology, and Archaeology.  Though we are familiar with certain cultural symbols up to some extent, often we are ignorant of their origin and inherited symbolic meanings. Dr. Perera enlightens us on lesser-known or unknown meanings of many tangible and intangible cultural symbols and symbolic practices of the Sinhala Buddhist culture in a logical manner.  He has paid attention to Hindu cultural symbols and their influence on molding local cultural symbolism since the early Anuradhapura period. He explains in detail the symbols found on ancient coins and inscriptions and their role in non-verbal communication in the past.  As highlighted by Dr. Perera, a symbol could have a couple of meanings and also it could convey a completely different cultural belief when it finds a place in a different culture as a result of cultural diffusion. Dr. Prashantha Perera’s broad knowledge of the Hindu culture has enhanced the importance of this invaluable research publication.  We are confident that his effort will be recognized by the worldwide intelligentsia as well as the learned general public of the globe.

“Muslim heritage in Sri Lanka is extremely important and largely under-recognised.  Jesmil Abdul Raheem is to be commended for taking on the challenge of identifying and recording elements of Muslim heritage across the island and demonstrating the very real potential there is here for archaeologists and heritage professionals.  Ensuring that Muslim communities in Sri Lanka have the many different aspects of their long and rich heritage recorded is important not only for these communities themselves but also to show their value to others.”
