Foreigner Discovers Sri Lankan Hospitality 🇱🇰

On a very special day, the Sri Lankan new year, a local family in Mirissa look after me and take me in for the day experiencing a special kind of hospitality. Kansu shows me around his ancestral home in the rural jungle area away from the coast where everything imaginable grows and is ready to be eaten. At his family home the fireworks go off all day as the coconut milk boils and we enter the new year eating all sorts of tasty home made Sri Lankan food.

    Sri Lankan people are really kind and pure hearted.That's why Sri Lankan hospitality is so lovely than in any country.All cultures neither are not to inspire anyone nor to say that we have beautiful cultures.All of us live together and we have cultures and religions only to make a good society.Not only to celebrate or to show everyone.As a Sri Lankan I'm truly proud of that. I experience that as a Sri Lankan who is living here even. Population is also low.so you can go anywhere, anytime,no harm and if you're lost somewhere it's alright because everyone is pleased to help everyone. That love and freedom is rare. Everything is natural.The nature is really fresh.Green vegetation is costless.Soil is really good. So normally we get things to prepare our meals from our gardens.🌱 However you saw real Sri Lanka. If you like India more that Sri lanka.it's alright because you can see the best cultures there.💪

  • @Mr.Bhanuka
    @Mr.Bhanuka11 ай бұрын

    In astrology, the sun follows the ecliptic. The ecliptic is divided into twelve sections called rashis, travelling eastward from Mesha. The rashi names are similar to those in the West, indicating a common Sumerian origin. The first day of the month is when the sun enters each rashi before nightfall. If the sun enters a rashi after sunset but before sunrise, the following day is the first of the month (there are minor differences). The days are then labelled 1, 2, 3... until the next month's first. So we get 12 months of 29-32 days. This fluctuation in length happens due to the earth's elliptical orbit around the sun and the transit point falling before or after sunrise. Months are named from the rashi that the sun travels in that month. The solar New Year begins on the first of Mesha. On the Gregorian calendar, it falls around April 13 or 14.

    According to Sinhalese astrology, New Year begins when the sun moves from Meena Rashiya (the house of Pisces) to Mesha Rashiya (the house of Aries). It also marks the end of the harvest season and of spring. And that happens on April 14. That's why it's the new year day.

It marks the beginning of the traditional Tamil calendar year. The festival is based on the solar calendar and is observed with various customs and rituals. Thai Pongal: Thai Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated by Tamils mainly in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the Sri Lankan Tamils. It is usually observed from January 14th to 17th, coinciding with the month of Thai (January-February) in the Tamil calendar.

    Why do Sri Lankans have a different New Year? The answer is that before the Portuguese and then the Dutch conquered the maritime provinces of Sri Lanka from the 16th century on and finally the British conquered the entire island and introduced the Christian calendar Sri Lankans had their own calendar based on astronomy and astrology. According to their historical calendar the New Year falls on a day in mud April according to the movement of the stars. In that full moon days are considered as holy days by Buddhists and are holidays just as Sundays are for Christians.
