The National Poson Festival will be held with full State patronage from June 7 to 13 in Anuradhapura and Mihintale, the cradle of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, on the theme, “Let the world gain peace through Arahat Mahinda Thera’s timeless message”. Poson Poya falls on June 10.

All National Poson Festival religious ceremonies will be held under the guidance and patronage of Mihintale Raja Maha Vihara Chief Incumbent Ven. Walawahengunawewe Dhammaratana Nayaka Thera.

This is the first time since 2023 that the Government is extending State patronage to Poson activities in Mihintale. The Government has also assured all facilities for pilgrims arriving in Mihintale during this period. All liquor outlets in Anuradhapura and Mihintale will be closed during the Poson week.
