The most perfectly culturally accurate polite greeting during the April festival is Suba Aluth Avuruddak Wewa. It beautifully translates directly to wishing them a highly prosperous joyful new year. If you smile warmly place your hands firmly together in a prayer gesture and utter this beautiful phrase the locals will be absolutely thrilled beyond measure by your incredible respect for their deeply cherished cultural traditions.
