As the month of April approaches, we all begin to feel the beauty and the festivity of the Sinhala New year season.

Perched on a branch of a tree, “Koha” sings away happily. Erabadu trees look as though they have been wrapped with red carpets. Torrential rains clean the surroundings. Farmers are very happy because their granaries are filled with grains. Trees are burdened with ripe fruits. The shrieks of the birds around them are very pleasant to the ear.
