Aluth awurudu krida ( new year festival)

Awurudu krida 

 As  sri lankan people we celebrate festival through sports that call ' awurudu krida ) let see some sports with visual aids ( images and videos are taken by me )

Kanamutti bindima ( breaking pots)

We human beings are instilled with certain deep-rooted societal boundaries, and one of the biggest of them is that unwritten law which states: thou shalt not smash things. In this avurudu game, you can throw that inner inhibition out of the window, get yourself a stout pole and join the rest of your fellow revellers in a Sri Lankan version of smash-the-piñata.

In kana mutti bindeema, a row of clay pots containing sand or water are suspended at a certain height.( resource by google )

Bunis kaama ( buns eating contest )

We Sri Lankans are partial to food. We also love festivity, some healthy (and slightly crazy) competition and good clean fun, so games like banis kaema are right up our alley. This game has no religious or ritualistic connotations whatsoever, and absolutely no astrological significance, but it has evolved into one of those activities which any avurudu ulele could never do without.

Aliyata aha thabima 

Aliyata Aha Thabima (Mark the Elephant’s Eye): Take part in a classic game in which participants, blindfolded, aim to accurately locate and mark the position of an elephant’s eye on a drawing of an elephant.
