Celebrate the festival of Sun in the Sri Lankan way

When the sun passes from the house of Pisces to the house of Aries there is much celebration in Sri Lanka as it signifies the coming of the Aluth Avurudda or New Year. New Years is one of the best times to visit Sri Lanka and travelers searching for an Ayurveda hotel in Sri Lanka will find the Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions an ideal choice as it is located in a scenic location just 20 minutes away from the airport.

Sinhala and Tamil New Year or the festival of the Sun is a festival that is celebrated with your family and loved ones with religious and cultural observances, feasting and of course fun games and activities.
