TNL will be telecasting Nikini Poya program on August 11 from Siri Pura in Padaviya. The special Poya Programme from TNL has been in operation for more than 12 months. These programmes are telecast from various parts of the Island for more than 12 hours. The poya day program on TNL has been a hit with viewers in Sri Lanka. Siri Pura is the last village in the North Central border, neighbouring the North East. This area including Padaviya and Welioya has been under several attacks by the LTTE. Now peace has dawn on the 75,000 Sinhala residents living in this area rich in Cultural Heritage. The history dates back to more than 5000 years, says the Chief Incumbent of Siri Pura Rajamaha Vihara Rev. Panditha Siridhamma Thera who is a walking encyclopaedia. His authority on Sri Lankan history is fantastic. The Hela age he describes is the period before of Mythical King Ravana. The poya program on August 11 from 7.00 am to 6 pm will be telecast live on TNL from Siri Pura via Indian SAT 3A with the help of Sri Lanka Telecom. This is an ideal opportunity to viewers from Singapore to Middle East to have a glimpse of our past Glory. TNL hopes to telecast a Janahanda Program on 11th August from Siri Pura temple. |
