Celebrating Sinhala And Tamil New Year
April 2021
The Koha heralds the Sinhala and Tamil New Year with its iconic screech
The favourite national holiday in Sri Lanka is Sinhala and Tamil New Year; called in Sinhala Aluth Avurudda and Tamil Puthandu. New Year, which is on April 14, entails prayer, but mostly activities such as games, and customs of goodwill, among them family gatherings with special food, and visits to relatives and neighbours. It is believed that the Sinhala and Tamil New Year originated with the suriya wandanawa, the worship of the Sun as the source of life. Indeed today, according to the system of astrology adhered to in Sri Lanka, the festival marks the passage of the Sun from the Meena Rashiya (House of Pisces) to the Mesha Rashiya (House of Aries). Such timing corresponds with a yearly occurrence when the Sun is directly overhead on April 14, while sometimes, though rarely, it takes place on April 13.
