Second Sanni
Next the Drummers change the drum beat sounding the rhythm of Salu Paliya, the second sanni to dance. He has a white (salu) cloth around his neck – the same that was used to shield the patient before the appearance of Mahasona. At this point this white cloth represents the shawl of Pattini. Salu Paliya dances around the Performance Area stopping from time to time to laugh loudly, pointing at the Patient. Eventually he then engages in a comic argumentative and largely insulting interchange with the Drummer to the great amusement of the Audience. He eventually concludes by passing the white cloth three times over the Patient’s head before returning to the Demon Palace.
Engaging in insulting and ribald conversation with the Drummer, in between laughing and pointing towards the Patient. This greatly amuses and entertains the Audience and the Patient.
