Today is the day of the Poson Full Moon Poya, when Mihindu Thero's jou ey to Sri Lanka took place.

After the third Dharma Sangayana held in India, Mihindu Thero and his group came to Sri Lanka from Mihintalaya with the patronage of King Dharmashoka.
 
King Devanampiyatissa, who was ruling the country at that time, also heard Dhamma from Mihindu Thero and took refuge in Sandaham, and with the arrival of Mihindu Thero, a cultural change took place.

Along with Mihindu Thero, Sri Lanka also received 18 caste craft grades.
 
Having education, literature, architecture, agriculture as well as a society full of values ​​makes Poson Poya meaningful.
 
It is a custom of Sri Lankan Buddhists to celebrate Poson with a festival, putting culture first.
