April is a month for the sri lankan people who highly celebrate it not only Sinhalese people but Tamil people also enjoy it , when you make a round tour around the country , one could see how people even children and all enjoy with the new year time specially on 13 and 14 , according to the auspicious time gent and ladies follow the activities that are descending from their ancestors. Last bath for old year , clearing house , making a fire for new year rice (kiribath) , eating together with their family , transaction money , giving cloth for their elders , oil anointment , leaving for the job all thing done according to the auspicious time.
