 Sinhala   and H indu aluth awrudu festival is a national festival in sri Lanka. Astrologically when the sun moves from Meena Rashiya to Mesh Rasiya.   it changes not only the sun it change also peoples thoughts.In the awrudu season all of us get new clothes,made different kind of sweets, repair  the house and working places, etc. But the real awurudu must begin from our thoughts.it's a rebirth of our mind and feelings.We should forgive, we should apologize we should keep our bonds and relationships. In this season we can refresh our life in the soul not only with the appearance. Another most important thing is we start again our same day to day life after the new year season. we spend big amount of money for buy new clothes, but do you know most of street children have only one clothe.In the awrudu day they are in empty stomach. The don't know even taste of kawn or kokis. They don't know what is the custom of awrudu, but still we all are celebrating awrudu.
