<start_of_turn>model
Vesak and Sinhala New Year are two major festivals celebrated in Sri Lanka, each with its unique cultural significance. Vesak, commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha, is a Buddhist festival marked by illuminated streets, lanterns, and religious observances. Devotees engage in acts of kindness, and colorful processions are organized. Sinhala New Year, usually falling in April, marks the end of the harvest season. It involves rituals like lighting the hearth and astrologically significant activities. Traditional games, customs, and gatherings with family and friends characterize the Sinhala New Year celebrations, reflecting the joyous spirit of a new beginning.<end_of_turn><eos>
