| dbo:abstract | - Sinhalese New Year, generally known as Aluth Avurudda (Sinhala: අලුත් අවුරුද්ද) in Sri Lanka, is a Sri Lankan holiday that celebrates the traditional New Year of the Sinhalese people of Sri Lanka. It is a major anniversary celebrated by not only the Sinhalese people but by most Sri Lankans. The timing of the Sinhala New Year coincides with the new year celebrations of many traditional calendars of South and Southeast Asia. The festival has close semblance to the Tamil New year and other South and Southeast Asian New Years. It is a public holiday in Sri Lanka (02 Public Holidays - Normally Shops Close for Around One Week Following the New Year). It is generally celebrated on 13 April or 14 April and traditionally begins at the sighting of the new moon. According to Sinhalese astrology, New Year begins when the sun moves from Meena Rashiya (the house of Pisces) to Mesha Rashiya (the house of Aries). It also marks the end of the harvest season and of spring. (en)
- O Ano Novo do Sri Lanka, muitas vezes chamado “Ano Novo cingalês e tamil” (dos nomes das duas etnias principais daquele país) é uma festa com grandes tradições que se celebra a 13 ou 14 de Abril de cada ano. Uma das coisas mais visíveis das festividades é a preparação de alimentos especiais, como o kiribath, um prato de arroz da última colheita cozido em leite-de-coco e servido com condimentos ou acompanhamentos especiais. Também se preparam doces especiais, como o mung kavum e o konda kavum, que são fritos feitos com base em farinha de arroz, em que o mung kavum leva feijão-mungo e o konda kavum tem xarope-de-palmeira, e o bibikkan, também chamado “pol-cake” ou “porunu-appa”, feito à base de semolina, coco ralado e várias conservas de frutas e condimentos.
