Colombo Poson 2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Poson is the most important festival of Buddhists. Poson is celebrated to commemorate the introduction of Buddhism to Sri Lanka by Mahinda Thero in 236 BC. The focal point of the religious festival is the Buddhist monastic complex on the mountain of Mihintale, where Arahath Mahinda Thero preached Buddhism to one of the kings, king Devanampiyatissa, of Sri Lanka.

Poson festival is celebrated in Sri Lanka as a religious and cultural festival.

Poson celebrations are similar to Vesak, with Pandols and Dansal (alms-giving stalls) to be seen everywhere. Buddhist families decorate their homes with coloured lights, lanterns and Kudu, while making use of the holiday to engage in meritorious deeds. Bakthi Gee (religious songs) too are sung in public areas and the atmosphere on this full moon day is one of peaceful co-existence.

Another feature of Poson celebrations are colourful processions which commemorate the visit of Arahant Mahinda. Known as Mihindu Peraheras these processions include Elephants, drummers and dancers which are characteristic elements in almost all such peraheras in the island.
