December 15, 2024
The annual Sri Pada pilgrimage season officially began on Saturday, the Unduvap Full Moon Poya Day (Dec. 14), with the ceremonial transfer of the “Sadhatuka Karaduwa”, “Samandeva Prathimawa”, and other sacred ornaments from the historic Sri Pada Temple in Galpotthawala, Pelmadulla, to the Sri Pada Uda Maluwa.
The pilgrimage season runs from Unduwap Poya (December) to Wesak Poya Festival (May), reaching its peak mid-season at Medin Poya.
