  The Sinhala and Hindu New Year falls in the month of April every year. It is celebrated by Sinhala Buddhists and Tamil Hindus in Sri Lanka. They set their eyes on the new moon before the New Year. We make preparations and decorate our houses before the New Year dawns. Some clean up their gardens and houses before the New Year. We go to the temple during the Nonagathe time with the dawn of the New Year. You hear the firecrackers. Mother lights the hearth and prepares milk rice at the auspicious time.
