<start_of_turn>model
Sri Lanka has a rich tapestry of superstitions and beliefs rooted in its cultural heritage. "Yakku," or supernatural beings, are often invoked in folk beliefs. "Nakath," an astrological system, influences auspicious timings for events. The "evil eye" belief is prevalent, leading to protective rituals. "Mantras" and rituals performed during significant life events, like childbirth, reflect a blend of cultural and superstitious practices. While modernization has influenced beliefs, many Sri Lankans still adhere to traditional customs and rituals to ward off perceived negative energies or seek blessings.<end_of_turn><eos>
