Sinhala and Tamil New Year

Marking the end of the harvest season, Sri Lanka celebrates its new year also known as Aluth Avurudda. The people in Sri Lanka think that the Prince of Peace, Indradeva, comes down to earth to bless the people with happiness and peace; thus, this is also the time for a change of thoughts. Both Sinhalese, as well as the Tamil people in the country have their rituals, such as the playing of a Raban, a drum, by women in the community, preparing Kiribath ( a rice preparation in milk), Kavum (an oil cake) and Kokis (a sweetmeat snack). The date of the auspicious new year gains its significance through astrological calculations.

This festival generally happens in mid-April when the entire country is brought together in a festive spirit. The festival is one of the biggest or the biggest celebrations in Sri Lanka, as it signifies the end of the harvest season or spring. During the festival, people ensure their houses are clean, purchase new clothes, and prepare many traditional sweets. The celebrations also have the children applying herbal oils to remove any negative spirits. Locals tend to burst firecrackers and organize competitive games for everyone to participate in. This festival promotes togetherness and forges bond with people from all religions. It is celebrated either on the 13th or 14th of April every year.
