Swadeshi sponsors Aloka Poojawa at Kelaniya

The Swadeshi Industrial Works Ltd. was the sponsor of the Aloka Poojawa of the Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya which coincided with the annual Duruthu Perahera of the temple for the ninth consecutive year.

Chairperson of Swadeshi Amari Wijewardene, commented that sponsoring the Aloka Poojawa of the sacred temple Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya demonstrates Swadeshi’s commitment to keeping the country’s heritage and traditional values alive.

“Being a 100 percent Sri Lankan company, at a time like this, we believe it is our duty to safeguard our country’s unique identity”, she said.

The Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya was built as a monument to the third and final visit of Lord Buddha to Sri Lanka. Built in the reign of King Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe, this temple is a place of one of the four guardian gods of Sri Lanka - God Vibishana.

The Swadeshi Industrial Works Ltd., is the pioneer of herbal beauty care products in Sri Lanka and is one of the most active sponsors of religious and cultural activities in places of worship.

The company also sponsors the annual Aloka Poojawas in Kataragama Kiri Vehera Raja Maha Viharaya, Ruhunu Kataragama Maha Dewalaya, Sabaragamuwa Maha Saman Dewalaya and Dambadeniya Raja Maha Viharaya.
