Find events in Sri Lanka

9 years ago

Event in Sri Lanka has a long term traditional and social relationship.It takes back to Ancient time , Forefathers of Sri Lanka (Kings) usually do their events in religious mode.
Sri Lanka is a South Asian country around by The Indian Ocean , Most of them Says "Pearl of the Indian Ocean". Main religion is Buddhism and nationality is Sinhala.But Tamils , Muslims Malay and Other lives together.Sri Lankan's has black hair with brown skin and they are not that much tall.
So these people has a prestige's history which take Us almost to 2000 years back.As I said earlier Buddhism is the main religion and that "events" start with this.These people good devotees for The Lord Buddha and what ever they did , they give their first for it.Basically most of these people are farmers ( nowadays this is little bit different ) and end of the year and middle of the year they harvest their cultivation called "Aswanna (Local Name)" for first semester called "Yala" also end of the year they called "Maha"
At the "Yala" and "Maha" they arrange a big festival called "Aswanu Mangalya" , This is the event that all the villages participating.At the event chief monk of the village temple will be the main honorable guest and other VIP's will be next.The history of Sri Lanka says that this event will be second only for Kandy Tooth Relic Temple event called "Siri Dalada Perehara"
Nowadays this tradition still continuing and have added new more events for the list.Young generation of Sri Lanka now moving with technology and most of them are very fun lovers , like to hang with parties,musical shows and much more... Apart of that they whould like to find events and participate such as sports, gaming shows,exhibitions,dramas etc......
These young generation now use The Internet as their main tool for finding events around the Island.Basically they use Google.lk as their main search engine and http://www.eventme.lk as their best second event finding tool + web.Now they were able to find what they were looking for and now this new tradition is trending in society.Indeed this is the new look of Sri Lankan event field.
