We have already informed our Vihara members that the grand celebrations of the 70^th Sri Lankan Independence Day will be held at the Vihara on February 4^thfrom 8:30 am. HBV Cultural  Events Team invites you to attend the ceremony.

The team is planning to present a few songs (sung by both children and adults) at the commemorative event.  Some of those songs are:

·         National Anthems (both US and SL)
·         Udarata Kandukara
·         Mage Ratata (Sanat Nandasiri)
·         Ran Dahadiya Bindu Bindu (Amaradewa)
·         Niwal Sithuwili (Amaradewa)
·         Karadiya Gambare (Edward Jayakodi)
·         Shreeni Vibushita (Lata Walpola)
·         Api Okkoma Rajawaru (Victor Ratnayake)

In addition, the children will also perform a few traditional dances at the event. They are now being trained by Ritani.

After the commemoration, a general Vihara meeting will be held from 11:30 to 12 :30.

Shortly afterwards, a very special lunch will be served to all. You do not have to bring any food for lunch or breakfast.
