Swadeshi Khomba illuminates “Attanagalla Raja Maha Viharaya”..

The Swadeshi Industrial Works PLC, the pioneer and the market leader in herbal personal care products in one of its community support initiatives recently sponsored the “Aloka Poojawa” of the historic Attanagalla Raja Maha Viharaya. “Swadeshi Khomba Aloka Puja Sathkaraya” is a concept of Swadeshi Chairperson Ms. Amari Wijewardene.

Situated in the Gampaha district, Attanagalla Raja Maha Viharaya historically recognized as the place where a Bodhisattva Sri Sangabodhi, made the great sacrifice fulfilling a parami. Known by the name of King Sri Sangabodhi (247-249 A.D.) he was recognized in the chronicles and other ancient literature of Sri Lanka as the most pious Buddhist king in Sri Lankan history. After King Sri Sangabodhi, his brother Gotabhaya (249-262 A.D.) became the king of the country and built a Stupa at the place where his brother, Bodhisattva Sri Sangabodhi, made the great sacrifice fulfilling a parami. The temple is an important archaeological site that includes a Vatadage, the only classical round temple in Sri Lanka that is still intact, though modified in modern times.

Sharing her thoughts on the Aloka Pooja initiative, Swadeshi Chairperson Ms. Amari Wijewardene said, “Swadeshi being a Sri Lankan company which upholds traditional values and customs considers safeguarding the culture and traditional heritage of Sri Lanka by supporting initiatives such as annual Aloka Pooja. As a socially responsible company, we are committed to give our fullest support to these initiatives; thereby we set a perfect example for the generations to follow.”

She further added, “Swadeshi Khomba illuminates places of worship in the country for the benefit and betterment if worshippers and also with the intention of educating younger generation on the importance of safeguarding the country’s culture and heritage.”

Swadeshi Chairperson, Ms. Amari Wijewardene has been continuously supporting religious places throughout the island. In 2013 the ‘Sri Dalada Maligawa’ of historic Dambadeni Raja Maha Viharaya and the ancient murals were renovated by Ms. Amari Wijewardene to bring back the past glory. Ms. Amari Wijewardene is the great granddaughter of Helena Wijewardene Lamatheni, who initiated renovations of the Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya in 1927.

Swadeshi Khomba continues to support the annual Aloka Poojas of Kataragama Kiri Wehera, Ruhunu Kataragama Maha Devalaya, Sabaragamu Maha Saman Devalaya, Devundara Sri Vishnu Devalaya, Aluthnuwara Sri Dadimunda Maha Devalaya, Mahanuwara Sri Maha Vishnu Dewalaya, Redigama Ridi Viharaya, Lankathilaka Raja Maha Viharaya, Ammaduwa Kuda Kataragama Devalaya, Deraniyagala Saman Devalaya, Dambadeniya Raja Maha Viharaya, Godakawela Sankapali Raja Maha viharaya and Keragala Raja Maha viharaya.
