Celebrate Avurudu in Sri Lankan way

The transition of the Sun from Meena Rashiya to Mesha Rashiya within twelve months period brings celebration to a whole nation. The Sinhala Tamil New Year which usually falls on the 13th and 14th of April each year plays a major role in the Sri Lankan culture. Tourists who visit the country during this time of the year could be a part of the celebrations. Guests staying at a renowned Negombo hotel as Hotel J Negombo could also partake in these traditional rituals as well as fun filled games that are played especially during the Avurudu season.

The rituals that are practiced over the years have been passed down from generation to generation and take place during auspicious times. Most of these traditions are incorporated with the village temple. The mouth watering sweet meats that are prepared for Avurudu are a must have. Be a part of the New Year celebrations and make most of your holiday in Sri Lanka.
