The ancestral royal insignia of the Karava community from a illustration from 1890. Illustrated are: clockwise from top centre Mutukuda (pearl umbrella). Alavattam (ceremonial Sun and moon ornaments), sword, Makara flag, Davul, Hornae (a type of trumpet) Tammattam, Sun and Moon flag and Trident.

Above: An old etching of King Rajasinghe and his court.
Note the similarity of the royal symbols carried by the courtiers with those on the flag above. Of particular interest are the two pearl umbrellas, the sun and moon symbols, Aalavattam ceremonial sun shades and the white (conch) shield.
Below: an old painting from Sri Lanka showing similar symbols of royalty carried in honour of the king.


An ancient flag of the Karava community, displaying the Mutukuda (royal pearl umbrellas) along with the other royal symbols of the Karavas: Sun & Moon symbols, Sword, White shield, Lamps (torches -pandam), ceremonial shades (alavattam), Yak tail whisks (valviduna) etc. together with Indra, the god of the Kshatriya royal race

A southern Karava wedding as seen by a western artist in 1885. Note the white canopy and foot cloth of royalty. Until recent times only the Karava caste used such symbols of royalty. Click for larger image
The Portuguese historian Father Manuel Barrados writes as follows about a Karava weeding he witnessed in 1613 in Moratuwa.
"The wedded pair come walking on white cloths, with which the ground is successively carpeted, and are covered above with others of the same kind, which the nearest relatives hold in their extended hands after the fashion of a canopy. The symbols that they carry are white discs, and candles lighted in the day-time, and certain shells which they keep playing on in place of bag-pipes. All these are Royal Symbolswhich the former kings conceded to this race of people, that being strangers they should inhabit the coasts of Ceilao, and none but they or those to whom they give leave can use them. …, what causes wonder in this and in other people of this kind, is, that although so wretched, miserable, and poor, they have so many points of honour, that they would rather die than go contrary to it." (Extracted from the reproduction of the above in the Monthly Literary Register 4, 1896 page 134)

Across the Palk Strait , the kinsmen of the Karavas too used similar insignia in the past. In 1917, H. R. Pate describes a wedding as follows: "A peculiar feature of the wedding is the procession to the bride’s house with virudus or banners supposed to be the insignia of the Kingly ancestors of the race. The emblems consist of 21 flagsembroidered with representations of various objects, animate and inanimate, such as a Snake, a Peacock, a Palmyra , a Chank, the Sun and Moon an Elephant. A Fish and so on. In addition to these a large Umbrella, a Shield and other trappings are carried. The bridegroom wears a costume called KAPA resembling the state robes of Jathi Thalavi More and white cloths are spread before him in his path". (Madras District Gazetteer 123 & 124)

Karava weddings with traditional royal insignia.
Above from the early 20th century and below from late 20th century.

Two examples of gold "Siri bo Maala" (above and below) worn only by Karava brides and queens of Sri Lanka.
The royal flag of Sri Lanka, the Sun and Moon flag.
This is one of the main flags of the Karavas . The Sun and Moon flag is
used to-date at family ceremonies such as weddings and funerals of the Karavas.

Above: The Sun, Moon and boat symbols as displayed by medieval Sri Lankan kings on their Kahavanu gold coins. These are royal symbols of the Karava race and these were also the real royal symbols of ancient Sri Lanka. The Lion was not such a royal symbol although it too was used by the Karavas on exclusively Karava flags. The Lion is now being promoted by interested parties so as to displace these true royal symbols. - see creation of Lion myth.

The The Sun symbol displayed as the central symbol on the royal throne of Sri Lanka. he Sun was the recurrent royal symbol throughout Sri Lanka's pre colonial history. The Sun is also a principal traditional symbol of the Karavas. Most of the Karavas belong to one or more of the Solar dynasties (Sun clans). See Surya clans for more information.

Although Nilames in Pageants now walk under umbrellas this is contrary to traditions and customs of Sri Lanka . See Radala for more information.
Above: Nilames in the Kandy Perehera of 1982. They seem to have some respect for the tooth relic as they are not walking under umbrellas, and the folded umbrellas are carried in the procession by temple attendants. As noted above, in feudal times the umbrellas were not carried by attendants but by the Nilames themselves
Click here for an example of a modern Nilame wearing shoes and gold jewelry and walking under an umbrella in the August 2008 Kandy perehera.
In the past, these ceremonial umbrellas were carried in Kandy pageants solely to honour the holy relics. Not for the glory of Nilames.
When traditions started to slip, the Sri Lankan government of the day was forced to put a stop to such abuses by Gazette notification of 17/04/1935. This notification states that the privileges and honours of Nilames were limited to the Kandyan costume only. They were not permitted to wear a sword or a sword belt or to have whip crackers, dancers or tom-tom beaters before them.
Click here for an example of a few Nilames in the same pageant who still honour the relics, the law of the land and the traditions associated with the pageant.

Above: The continuation of the Karava warrior tradition of a younger brother or male cousin of the bride greting the groom at the entrance to the bride's house and symbolically washing the groom's feet . The groom drops a gold ring into the water basin as a gift to the brother and the groom walks over white cloth laid out for him by the family washerman. In the past Karava villages had their own service caste of washermen who washed only for the Karavas and lived in adjacent villages.
