Sri Lanka's Traditional New Year Celebration In New Zealand
A blindfolded child from the Sri Lankan community is attempting to break a clay pot filled with water as part of a game during the Sinhalese and Tamil New Year celebrations at Samadhi Buddhist Temple in Rolleston, New Zealand, on April 14, 2024. Sri Lankan Buddhists and Tamil Hindus celebrate their traditional new year annually, which is based on the astrological belief that the new year begins when the sun moves from the house of Pisces to that of Aries. This day also signifies the end of the harvest season and the arrival of spring in Sri Lanka. (Photo by Sanka Vidanagama/NurPhoto)
