New Year princes’ Pageant - Everyone waiting until this Pageant. Because it is a very interesting event. This beauty contest to find the New Year princess involves dressing in traditional costumes and parading around in front of judging panel. The judging panel makes their final decision based on ‘five ancient markers’ of beauty known as the ‘pancha kalyana’. Such as beautiful complexion, figure, teeth, hair and youthful appearance are pre-requisites to bag this prize!
Additionally, there are so many new items such as New Year Prince Contests, Fancy dress competitions, balloon dance, etc, included in the New Year festivals.
Especially, in this period, New Year changes everyone’s life pattern. Especially obviate working and learning stress. And most of the Sinhala and Tamil people eagerly counting the days to the dawn of the Sinhala and Tamil New Year. Because it brings more fun and happy for everybody to enjoy themselves by playing the games while tasting the mouth with traditional sweet meats.
