Mourning is a social behavior a person exhibits over a loss or a death of a loved one or an important person in his life. Sadness, trauma, melancholy, anxiety, grief, depression etc. are the emotional responses to that painful event. Mourning is a pattern of behaviour that is rooted in different cultural backgrounds which is strongly associated with their faiths and beliefs. Among many different types of Shantikarmas (the socio-cultural and religious rituals) the ones which are associated with the depiction of death are occasions where such cultural behaviour patterns are elaborated. It is conducive to personal and social well-being. This study examines the therapeutic methods used in the Mara Ipaddaweema (killing and resurrecting) ritualistic drama associated with the folk ritualistc practices among the communities who invoke the blessings of the Goddess Pattini in Sri Lanka.
