The Sinhala and Hindu New Year, known locally as Avurudu, strictly follows astrological calculations, but the main festival days universally fall on the 13th and 14th of April every single year, including 2026.

If you are planning your trip, be highly aware that the entire week surrounding these two dates effectively becomes a massive national holiday. Public transport will be chaotic, and almost all local shops will close as the entire country travels home to celebrate.
