Swadeshi Khomba sponsors Manikkawatte teledrama which celebrates Sri Lanka’s colourful lifestyle of yore

Swadeshi Khomba is proud to be the main sponsor of the highly realistic television drama series developed based on the famed Sinhala literary work “Manikkawatte” whose plot spans the 1880-1980 century of Sri Lanka.

“Manikkawatte”’s plot is spun around pivotal themes of the value of the country’s natural resources, relevance of nature, negative consequences of environmental damage, colonialism and its impacts, historic and ancient heritages, and the Sri Lankan social fabric centered on the nuclear family unit.

The series, which brings a new TV viewing experience, is created by Director Sudath Rohana. It is being telecast on ITN every weekend at 8.30 pm.

Chairperson of Swadeshi Industries Ms. Amari Wijewardene says: “Manikkawatte” is a valuable opportunity to showcase the value of lifestyle and heritage of Sri Lankans of yore. This drama series will help our children to learn about our rural heritage and history. Swadeshi Industries look forward to see positive attitudinal change towards Sri Lankan culture and values among the viewing public, from this series. Today sponsorship for dramas that portray such traditional values is very seldom. We at Swadeshi Industries, as a Sri Lankan company that values our heritage, feel a great sense of pride in contributing to an effort of this nature.” Swadeshi Industries previously also sponsored several tele dramas directed by Sudath Rohana including Ambudaruwo, Uthuwankande Saradiel, Karuwala Gedara, and Kinduru Kumaraya.
