Sinhala and Hindu New year 🌞💥🌛



 
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. Then we arrange the table with special food items made for the New Year. All family members and relatives get-together and take part in the rituals at the auspicious times. Adults do transactions and children worship the elders.

Many festivals are held in villages. Children take part in the many games and in the Avurudu Kumari and Kumara contests. New Year is an important and traditional festival.
