These events mostly held in southern province, and also in western province.At the beginning of “Dewol maduwa” theres a dance called “Mal Yahan Nateema”. This dance is to invite the gods to the altar that made by banana trees using traditional arts and that altar is called as “Mal Yahana”. The gods are vary between two traditions called “Benthara” and “Mathara”. In “Benthara” tradition “Mal Yahan Nateema” is for four gods called “Natha, Wishnu, Katharagama & Paththini” and mainly for god “Natha”But in “Mathara” tradition “Mal Yahan Nateema” is for god “Suuniyam”.The lines sang by dancers during this dance is to praise the gods.
