WTC celebrates Vesak with a giant rotating lantern

21 May, 2017

Overseas Realty Ceylon PLC (ORCL), the owner manager and developer of the World Trade Centre Colombo (WTC), are displaying a giant Vesak lantern at its premises to celebrate this year’s Vesak festival.

As UN Day of Vesak was hosted in Sri Lanka, it was the first time we celebrated the Vesak festival internationally showcasing our creativity and rich Buddhist culture to the world. The giant lantern at the WTC depicts the gifting of the Jayasirimaha Bodhi sapling to King Devanampiyatissa. The Vesak lantern useds VSD technology to control the speed of the drive unit.

The lantern will be displayed to the public up to Poson Poya Day.
