Vesak Celebrations 2020 – Celebrating the ‘Buddha Day’

Vesak in Sri Lanka is a Buddhist celebration with many traditions and rituals observed not only by Buddhists all across the country but by those who belong to other religions too. With pandols (thoranas), lanterns, Buddhist religious song sessions (Bhakthi gee) and numerous stalls giving away free food and drinks (dansal) this celebration has many unique rituals to make people happy. Apart from this, there are also many other spiritual programs conducted by various organizations throughout the day.

There are many Kandy boutique hotels to provide accommodation facilities if you consider spending your Vesak holidays in the ancient city of Kandy and Mountbatten Bungalow is one of the many good options if what you are looking for is optimum luxury and great hospitality.
