Lankem Paints Ltd, manufacturers and marketers of Robbialac Paints recently undertook the painting of the entire Dalada Maligawa complex in Kandy for this year’s Esala Perehera.
Now in its ninth consecutive year, this annual ‘Varna Pooja’ by Lankem Paints is one of the numerous rituals associated with the Temple of the Tooth prior to the Perehera.
Director Lankem Ceylon PLC Ruwan T. Weerasinghe said, “We consider it a unique honour and privilege to paint the Dalada Maligawa for the Kandy Esala Perahera. Apart from being a great meritorious act, we are also happy at being able to contribute to Sri Lanka’s rich culture and heritage through initiatives such as this. Lankem Robbialac is a fully home-grown Sri Lankan company and we thus do owe a deep debt of gratitude to the people of Sri Lanka.”
Diyawadana Nilame Pradeep Nilanga Dela thanked Lankem Paints for its continued support in painting the Dalada Maligawa for the ninth consecutive year, ahead of the Esala Perehera.
