Lankem to paint Dalada Maligawa

Lankem Paints Ltd, manufacturers and marketers of Robbialac Paints will paint the Dalada Maligawa complex in Kandy for the forthcoming Esala Perahera.

The annual 'Varna Pooja' is now a tradition and part of the many rituals associated with the Dalada Maligawa before the annual Esala Perahera.

The Kandy Esala Perahera begins with the Kumbal Perahera on July 23 and attracts thousands of devotees from all parts of Sri Lanka and numerous foreign visitors from various parts of the globe.

It ends with the Randoli Perahera on August 1. It is followed by the Day Perahera on August 2 and then the traditional Water Cutting ceremony at Getambe.

Director Lankem Ruwan T. Weerasinghe said, "It is our privilege to paint the Dalada Maligawa for the Kandy Esala Perahera. We consider it an honour to contribute to Sri Lanka's culture and heritage through initiatives such as this.

Lankem Robbialac is a home-grown company and we owe a debt of gratitude to the people of Sri Lanka".
