It consists of washing weekly or monthly the soiled clothes of a family, the robos, certains, flags, and vestments of a Temple ; decorating temples with viyan (ceilings) for festivals and pinkam, and private houses on occasions of weddings, Yak or Bali ceremonies, and arrival of distinguished visitors ; the supplying on such occasions of “ Piruwata ” for wearing, “ etirili ” or covers for seats, tables etc., “ piyawili ” or carpets, and “ diyaredi ” or bathing dresses ; the making of “ pandam ” torches and “ panweti ” wicks and the supplying of “ dambu ” tow. The “ Heneya ” (dhobi) has also to attend his master on journeys carrying his bundle of clothes and bathing requisites. He supplies the Kapurala and Yakdessa with piruwata, the former weekly when on duty at a Dawale and the latter for dancing at festivals. He gives piruwata for the Muttettu, for serving out the food, for penum-kat and tel-kat as covers, and for the state elephant during festivals. The penuma he presents consists generally of a piece of wearing apparel or of a “ sudu-toppiya ” ( Kandyan hat ) or in some cases of Panaleli (horns for combs.) His perquisites vary according to the occasion calling forth his services. Thus at the Sinhalese new year besides the quota of sweetmeats and rice given on such an occasion every member of the family ties up a coin in the cloth he delivers to him for washing. At “ kotahalu ” (occasion of a female attaining puberty, festivities the dhoby is entitled to the cloth worn by the young woman and to her head ornaments, and at a funeral to all. The clothes not allowed to be burnt on the pyre.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
