Sinhala and Hindu New Year Celebration – 2025 Department of English Language Teaching

The Department of English Language Teaching (DELT) of The Open University of Sri Lanka warmly celebrated the Sinhala and Hindu New Year together as a department family. This special gathering, attended by our academic and non-academic staff, was a wonderful occasion to share festive traditions and strengthen our bonds.
The event featured a beautiful cultural atmosphere, filled with traditional sweets, heartfelt conversations, and festive decorations that reflected the spirit of the New Year. Staff members dressed in traditional attire, adding color and grace to the occasion. It was a time of joy, unity, and appreciation for our shared heritage, fostering stronger connections within our department.
