While most of the traditional folk dances of the Jaffna District vanished during the long Colonial history of Sri Lanka, the folk dance ‘vasanthan” ((タミル語:வசந்தன் or வயந்தன் )) has survived until the beginning of the Sri Lankan Civil War. Though this dance form is similar to “Kolaaddam” ((タミル語: கோலாட்டம்)) , it has some unique features. It has an original rhythm and tune as well as old traditional lyrics. It is performed in Hindu temples by adult males during “Navarathiri” ((タミル語:நவராத்திரி)) festival time. It is also believed that the performance at the temple will bring rain. Tamil scholar Pandithar Namasivayam who was a student of Vidwa Siromani C. Ganesha Iyer is from Kaaduvan. He was awarded the honor of illakkanna viththakar ((タミル語:இலக்கண வித்தகர்)) by the University of Jaffna at its first convocation in 1979. Due to the Sri Lankan Civil War the village has come under the high security zone〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.aaas.org/page/monitoring-change-sri-lankas-valikamam-high-security-zone-2009-2014 )〕 since 1990 being proximate to the Palali military base adjoining Palali airport.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://aviation-safety.net/database/airport/airport.php?id=JAF1 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-international/a-case-of-homes-schools-and-livelihoods-sacrificed-in-the-name-of-security/article5438263.ece )〕 Sri Lankan government cabinet has decided to release 400 acres in Palai Veemankamam south and Varuthalaivilan, 300 acres in Kadduvan and Kurumbasiddy 〔http://www.kurumbasiddyweb.com〕 for re-settlement 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tamildiplomat.com/first-stage-of-re-settlement-in-valli-north-and-valli-east/ )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kadduvan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
