Tovil is an indigenous healing ritual among the Sinfiala of Sri Lanka. It is a treatment for mental illness. During the ritual, which takes place at night, the patient embodies the demons who are the cause of his or her psychic problems. The ritual is a psychodrama, accompanied and induced by drumming, dancing and singing. The emphasis of this study is not on the patient but on the healer.
