Grama Seva Niladhari turned dancer Eshani Vidya Kulasinghe was the only female dancer at the Kandy Esala Perahera to be picked to receive a certificate for her performance.
Eshani, a past pupil of Dharmawickrema Balika Vidyalaya and Mahamaya Girls’ College Kandy, has been dancing at the Esala Perahera since 2012.
At the conclusion of the Perahera she was recognised by the committee monitoring the dancers and was selected to receive a certificate and cash reward by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.
She was among the 4000 dancers and drummers who paraded the streets for the Perahera, and the only woman dancer selected by the panel that adjudged the dancers for the accolade.
Serving as a Grama Niladhari in the Yatinuwara Electorate, Eshani danced in the Pattini Devale section.
