Poson Poya, observed each June, marks Buddhism’s introduction to Sri Lanka at Mihintale over two millennia ago. Celebrations peak in Anuradhapura and Mihintale, with pilgrims engaging in Sil campaigns, Bodhi Poojas, and charitable Dansalas. The glow of lanterns, striking pandols, and devotional songs create an inspiring cultural experience rooted in history and spiritual devotion.
