Circumcision

The circumcision of small boys is celebrated. Usually the boys are circumcised in the annual school holidays. The houses are decorated and music is played. Many people visit such houses mainly to enjoy a game of carom or participate in the local bodu beru and listen to a local band perform.

It is quite often that you will find some form of powder or spray ruining your clothes.

Circumcision of young boys is a festive event in which families come together and have a good time. Many cultural and entertainment activities takes place during this event. This event would give a flavour of how locals interact and support each other in friendly manner.
