Sri Lanka: Children dressed as Sri Lankan nobility at a temple festival in Avissawella

Sri Lanka holds many Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and Christian festivals throughout the year. The full moon day each month is celebrated by Buddhists as poya, and on these days no alcohol is sold with the exception of a few tourist enclaves. Most Hindu and Moslem festivals also follow the lunar calendar.
