A Festival When the Sky Meets the Sea

This is a scene of a Festival in a village called Valvettithurai in Sri Lanka. Afte 13 day long Amman Kovil festival on the final day the god comes to the sea to have a holi bath and the whole village people will join them. As this village’s main income is fishery you can see people coming from boats too. And nothe the point, despite the fact its a fishery village, people will not catch or eat fish or any non vegetarian food for the whole 13 day festival stretch.

@Batzee I never knew about this festival. I have been to Valvettithurai two times. The photo with the blue sky is stunning. Why don’t you join the Sri Lanka Local Guides Facebook Group?

Que evento fantástico!

Deve ser maravilhoso poder viver junto com todos naquele local. É muito energia e completa festa.

Great theme.
