Sri Lanka Canada Friendship Association of Edmonton - Sinhala and Tamil New Year
Celebrating the Sinhala & Tamil New Year
When: May 14, 2011, at 6:45 pm
What: The celebration Sinhala & Tamil New Year was motivated by various religious influences in Sri Lanka, namely Buddhist and Hindu. However, it is believed that the celebration of New Year has existed long before the religions came into the scene. These religions have penetrated the core of Sri Lankan culture and associated their rituals to thanksgiving after harvesting agricultural produce. This event will feature many dance performances, games and delicious food for guests.
