Northshore College New Year Celebrations 2013

Northshore College New Year Celebrations 2013



The Avuruddha is heralded by the constant lighting of fire crackers and the unmistakable call of the koel bird, popularly known as the koha which coos only once a year-at this time. Sinhala and Tamil New Year is called Sinhala Avurudu despite being celebrated by both Hindus and Buddhists alike. It marks the completion of the solar circuit and has to be astrologically determined.
The New Year customs and the rituals were carried out between students and staffs of Northshore College. This was the first time that Northshore College students did celebrate the Sinhala New Year in an appropriate manner. They indulge in the traditional rituals of boiling of milk, serving of kiribath and an assortment of coconut oil-based sweetmeats, which are high on the traditional holiday menu.
This is followed by taking part in several traditional activities of fun and games. Staff and students took part in these activities irrespective of the religion they may belong to.
