A Season of Joy and Traditions❤️

 The Sinhala and Tamil New Year is the most joyful festival in Sri Lanka. It is a special time that marks the start of a new year with many traditions. We know the festival is near when we see red flowers on trees and hear the sweet song of the Koha . Families clean their homes and wear new clothes to feel fresh and happy. We cook milk rice and sweet treats like Kavum and Kokis to share with our neighbors and friends. During this time, everyone follows the same lucky times to start their work and eat together. We also play fun traditional games and show great respect to our parents and elders. This festival is very important because it brings people together.We also play fun traditional games and show great respect to our parents and elders.
