Where is the best place to see Vesak lanterns in Colombo this May?

The area around Gangarama Temple and the Beira Lake is the epicenter of Vesak in Colombo. The Seema Malaka pavilion will be surrounded by hundreds of floating lanterns. Also, visit Bauddhaloka Mawatha for the massive thoranas and the many dansalas where locals offer free food and drinks to everyone. It is a beautiful time of communal sharing and spiritual celebration. Wear white to blend in with the devotees at the temples.
