New Year Festival


Coming from Pisces to Aries we consider the new year. Thus the celebration of the Sun's transition from Pisces to Aries is also considered to be the main festival performed by Hindus and Sinhalese  devotees. The customs and  rituals of the new year are an important milestone for us. These rituals also have a religious background.  Here we perform a large number of rituals such as chanting, dealing, work and eating worshiping parents etc.. 

 And the main purpose here is to forget old grudges and make friendship with everyone. Also we going to relative houses. 

So this time our family is having a very happy new year celebration. My mom made delicious food and sweet like kewum, kokis, milk rice , cake etc..  We also went to the visit our thero and performed the rituals that take place there. Also light firecrackers during ritual times. We also se up a beautiful dining table and dealt with food at the appropriate time. Also considering the current situation in the country, we visited relatives' home in a safe manner. Really this year I spent the whole family gathering meaningful and beautifully. I willed all of my family members and friends. 

May you be able to enjoy life among the suffering mind

Let only laugher remain in your mouth amidst the weeping and laughing hearts 

Fill yourself with only the comforts of the trouble hearts

May you have the strength to overcome whatever obstacles come our way in this short journey of life

Happy New Year to you and your family and prosperous new year.
