Each Sesath carries within it a captivating history woven with religious, traditional, and cultural values. A powerful emblem of prosperity, these magnificent creations were once proudly displayed by ancient aristocrats to showcase their pride and authority. Today, Sesath remains an integral part of weddings, funerals, and temples, its presence cherished and revered. Steeped in Kandyan history, the tradition of adorning pageants and festivals with Sesatha Peramuna has been faithfully passed down through generations.

Amidst this tapestry of tradition, the village of Unaveruva in the Matale district stands as a solitary beacon, preserving the art of crafting traditional Sesath. For the communities in Unaveruwa, this ancient craft is not merely a livelihood; it is their way of life. Protected by revered elders, the invaluable knowledge and techniques are carefully handed down to the next generation. In each family and even within individual members, the art of Sesath holds a distinct and unique style, a testament to their unwavering dedication.

Nestled in this village of timeless heritage, tradition thrives, but the challenges of social and economic marginalization persist. The majority of households rely on their artisan skills to sustain their livelihoods, yet growth, expansion, and innovation have been limited. With our website, we seek to empower the younger generation by opening new avenues through digital technology, allowing them to explore fresh market opportunities while safeguarding the centuries-old artisanal craftsmanship of their village.

By supporting this cause, you play an invaluable role in preserving the legacy of an artisanal community, empowering them to flourish while embracing their rich cultural heritage.
