                                            I am sharing a glimpse of my Sri Lankan heritage and culture. I captured this footage during my visit to Sri Lanka in April this year. It was my first trip back in five years, and although so much has changed, the traditions, religion, and cultural essence remain beautifully preserved.
Asian elephants are among the most majestic creatures on Earth and have been deeply rooted in Sri Lankan culture since ancient times. They are incredibly intelligent and graceful, yet sadly, many face cruelty and mistreatment. While I’m proud that elephants hold a sacred place in our traditions, it breaks my heart to see the way some are treated. These gentle giants are wild animals that naturally live in herds, and isolation can cause them great emotional distress—much like humans.
Today, Asian elephants are considered endangered due to habitat loss and fragmentation. We can all make a difference by supporting organizations that work to protect them from illegal activities and cruelty through donations or volunteering.
