The Sinhala and Tamil New year (Aluth Avurudda) falls in the month of April also known as Bak in Sinhala.
The blooming of the red erabadu mal and the cry of the koha (Sri Lankan cuckoo) herald the Aluth Avurudu season. The Aluth Avurudda dawns when the Sun transits from the House of Pisces (Meena Rashiya)to the House of Aries (Mesha Rashiya).
The Aluth Avurudda is attached with a lot of traditions. Here are some main Aluth Avurudu traditions in pictures.
