A NUTRITIOUS LUNCH IN THE FIELDS

There is a famous saying in Sri Lanka “Mada soda gathkala goviya rajakamatath sudusui “. Once after a farmer washout his muds he is ideal for royalty. This much of honor and gratitude received by the famers in the little island of the Indian ocean from the early days.

The farmer provides a priceless service to the nation as they provide the main dish of Sri Lankan people – rice. Farming is not an easy job to do. Maintaining a paddy field is a tough task. Farmers need to put a huge effort to protect the paddy field from climate changes, rain, sun, birds and animals.

Ambula has a storied place in the culture and heritage of the Sinhalese people. It has been long celebrated in song, poetry, and other forms of literature. Tikiri Menike Ambula Genalla, a popular Sinhalese song at many Sri Lankan parties, describes Tikiri Menike - a farmer's wife - bringing a rice-and-curry lunch - the ambula - to the fields where her husband and the other farmers are working. This is a much anticipated time of the day, when the farmers get their dose of energy.
