Panadura Vesak Devotional Song Programme celebrates 25 years

Various Vesak programmes are held in almost every part of Sri Lanka to celebrate the birth of the Buddha.

- 

Among them, there are some very unique programmes. Here is one such unique programme that has continued for 25 years. The devotional song programme called Bodu Sadeha Gee, which was commenced by the Panadura Media Cultural Foundation in 2001, has been recognised as a unique programme in Sri Lanka. This programme is presented under the creative direction of historian and journalist Nishantha Chaminda Peiris. This year, the 25th annual programme will be held on May 13 and 14, in conjunction with the Vesak Festival, involving Panadura and surrounding areas. This programme is very special as it even continued during the 2019 Easter attacks and the 2020 Covid pandemic. This programme, which has attracted the attention of many, also includes singing songs from one area to another.
