Gini Sisila (subduing fire or fire dance) is a specialised form of dance which was originated in southern Sri Lanka. During this breathtaking performance, the dancer places a burning torch in his mouth and drags the blazing torch along the arms. The absolute faith of the dancer protects him from the flames and as a result the dancer emerges without any burns or scorching. This form of dance is performed by specialised and highly skilled dancers.
