Our New Year begins when the grain is golden.I'm eager to wait until harvest time.I waited impatiently until March, but my hand burned a few days before the harvest, so this time I was standing by the window of the room listening to my father's poems.
Usually the paddy is dried for a few days in the hot sun and then the first batch of rice is separated for the sake of the Lord Buddha. That is the sri lankan conventional.
Rice is the staple food of the country.This new rice festival is also a sri lankan traditional festival that has been held since the time of the Supreme Buddha.next all four gens are about to hold the SOORYA MANGALLAYA.
The earth remains alive because of the SUN.it gives the energy and lives for all trees,animals as well as humans.with out sun nothing will be alive.hence we show our graduate to the god sun by celebrating thr soorya mangallaya(new year festival).
So now is the time for everyone to start cleaning the house for the new year. The trees are full of 'Erabadu' flowers.It is very beautiful and a sign of nature tell peoples to that the new year season is soon.We are all indebted to the stove that has been cooked for a long time.
It's three or four days before the New Year that we start making flour from fresh rice. April is the time when Kawum Kokis Mung Athiraha is in full swing in every home.
This time,I made some 'thala karali'(sesame sweet)and made a favorite coconut cake for my family. I took a piece of chopped spicy to make Kokis, because my brother's favorite rice flour and mixed it with spicy raisins.
When making kavum, put the spoon and fork across the oil to be symbolic in all four directions.The first kavum is hung on the side with leprosy.
The next day I *tied the red lamision's hair beautifully* (its treditional way to explained konda kawum) with the flour that my mother had made the day before. It was my mother learned to me how to make such a nice kawum.Then I quickly went and sewed the rest of my mother's New Year's dress.My brother brought it from Colombo, I asked to buy for mum.Because he an expert to chooses beautiful clothes.Sakiya was playing nearby and looked me like saying "Please, sister, please give me a nice pair of trousers too" ..
While we were making confectionery here, it was Dad and Uncle Sumith who prepared the royal food..mmm yummy... Dodol ..
When I take the tea to them, the Dodol bubbling up. Somehow I collected one and a half bottles of coconut oil when finished make Dodol.
I woke up the next morning and lit the stove with my mother for the auspicious time and made "*lunumiris*" with milk rice and then made the table beautiful. The well that gave us clean water to drink for a year is created with the feeling that we will not forget in this new year as well. In fact, nature and human are together .💛
After the meal, I gave some betel leaves to my parents and adore them.Then i took some per-prepared sweets and some clothes and left the house with Sakiya.To share happiness to someone lived with loneliness.
Get closer to nature. Live this short life as a noble human and go out.🌿
Blessings of the Triple Gem .. !!
May this Sinhala Hindu New Year bring peace of mind..💛💛
