Poya

Poya is a special day in Sri Lanka, like a holiday. Every month, on the full moon day, people celebrate Poya.

On Poya day, people go to temple to pray to Buddha. Temples are special places where people go to pray and learn about Buddhism, which is an important religion in Sri Lanka.

Before going to the temple, people take a bath and wear special clothes to show respect to Buddha. At the temple, they offer flowers, light candles, and incense sticks as a way to show their love for Buddha.

Poya day is also a time to do good deeds. People donate money or food to poor people or animals. They also try to be kind to others and do not do bad things.

The idea behind Poya day is to focus on doing good things and being kind to others. It is like a reminder for people to be good and to live a happy and peaceful life.
