As a Sri Lankan school girl, Kavitha was deeply connected to her cultural heritage. She actively participated in traditional festivals and celebrations, such as the Esala Perahera (a colorful Buddhist festival) and the Thai Pongal (a Tamil harvest festival). During these events, she wore traditional attire, like the elegant osariya (a long piece of fabric draped around the body) and the vibrant thundu (a type of sarong).
