Hanukkah and Kwanza | Children Booklists
Enjoy the magic of – where every story is a bridge between generations, spoken in the warm tones of අම්මා and the curious eyes of the පුතා/දුක්ක .
In Sinhala culture, Wal Katha is more than just a method for predicting a baby's birth date. It is a revered tradition that symbolizes the connection between the mother, the baby, and the community. The practice is often performed during the seventh month of pregnancy, when the expectant mother is considered to be in her most vulnerable state. The ritual is usually conducted by a senior family member or a traditional birth attendant, who would tie a series of knots on a string while reciting prayers and mantras.
