Sanghika dana (monastic community meal offering) is a Buddhist practice where laypeople offer food to sangha (monks). Foreign visitors welcome to observe or contribute to a family sanghika dana if invited. Held at temples or family homes.

Etiquette: monks eat before noon (Buddhist observance), simple vegetarian food usually. Guests contribute money (500-2000 LKR) or bring food. Sit lower than monks (they sit on raised seats). Offer food with both hands. After monks eat, blessings are chanted.
