The annual Sri Pada pilgrimage season, which begins from the Unduvap Full Moon Poya Day began today for the 2020-2021 season. A series of religious activities to mark the beginning of the season were held at the Sri Pada Raja Maha Viharaya temple in Galpottawela, Ratnapura.
Processions carrying the sacred casket of Relics of the Buddha, sacred objects, and the statue of God Saman from the Temple to the Sri Pada maluwa were held yesterday. This is the first time that the resumption of the Sri Pada season is held as a state festival.
