Sri Lanka is known for its rich cultural heritage, and one of the most vibrant celebrations is the Sinhala and Tamil New Year (Aluth Avurudu & Puthandu). This grand festival, celebrated in April 2025, marks the beginning of a new year for the Sinhalese and Tamil communities. It’s a time of joy, family gatherings, and age-old traditions. If you’re planning to experience this beautiful festival, Tangalle Cabs is here to ensure you travel in comfort and style!
The Spirit of Sinhala and Tamil New Year
Sinhala and Tamil New Year is more than just a festival—it is a cultural reset. Unlike the Western New Year, this festival is based on the movement of the sun, marking the transition from Pisces to Aries in the zodiac calendar. The celebrations are filled with customs, rituals, and delicious traditional food.
Key Highlights of the Celebration:
- Nekath (Auspicious Times) – Every aspect of the festival follows auspicious timings, from lighting the hearth to starting new work.
- Kiribath (Milk Rice) & Sweets – Families prepare special Avurudu sweets like kokis, kavum, and aasmi.
- Traditional Games – Events such as pillow fights, kana mutti (breaking the clay pot), and coconut scraping competitions take place in villages and cities.
- Exchanging Gifts – A symbol of goodwill and prosperity, families exchange gifts to mark the new beginning.
- Firecrackers & Music – The entire country comes alive with the sound of firecrackers and traditional drumbeats.
