Its connection, interestingly, is with the Pattini cult which, as mentioned earlier, has number of ritual theatres devoted to it. Sokari is performed as a votive offering to Pattini. There goddess herself does not appear in the action in an instrumental fashion, but is nevertheless an immanent figure. Sokari has one story (like the ritual theatres) and this concerns a man-Guru Hami, his wife, the eponymous heroine-Sokari, and their rascally servant Paraya (or Pachamira) who travel to Sri Lanka from India, with the intention of settling down and raising a family. In the course of attempting these things, the trio goes through a series of (largely comical) adventures. At one point, young and seductive, elopes with, or is seduced by (the interpretation varies) the doctor summoned to treat her husband who has been bitten by a snake. Eventually she returns, and has a child by Guru Hami.</blockquote>
