about
Udara Vannama
Recital of the Royalty. The Vannama describes, "Adorned with the sixty four ornaments, the king strolls through streets of the city riding on an elephant accompanied by his retinue of foot soldiers amidst the pomp and pageantry of a procession. The music of the fivefold instruments rends the air. People pay homage and the city is jubilant".
The king thus idolized by the people is presumed to be King Narendrasinghe, the last of the kings of Kandy of Sinhala descent.

lyrics
Lyrics of the Kaviya of Udara Vannama
සදා බරණ පලඳා සිවු සැට කී - පුර
සදා ලෙසින් නැගි වාහන ඇතෙ කී
බෙදා සිවුරඟින් පාබළ පෙළ කී - රඟ
නදා හඬ ගිගුම් පසතුරු නොයෙ කී
විදා යන ගමන් පුද පෙළහර කී - රජ
පුදා පෙර ගමන් රඟ සිවු සැට කී
එදා ගරු සිතින් වැඩි පුර වරෙ කී - යෙදු
උඩාර වන්නම පෙර මේ ලෙස කී
Sada Barana Palanda Sivu Seta Ki - Pura
Sada Lesin Negi Vahana Ethe Ki
Beda Sivurangin Pabala Pela Ki - Ranga
Nada Handa Gigum Pasathuru Noye Ki
Vida Yana Gaman Puda Pelahara Ki - Raja
Puda Pera Gaman Ranga Sivu Seta Ki
Eda Garu Sithin Vedi Pura Vare Ki - Yedu
Udara Vannama Pera Mei Lesa Ki
