A colourful pandal depicting the life story of Bhikkhuni Patachara was the highlight of the Poson celebrations organised by Sri Saddhatissa International Buddhist Centre in Kingsbury under the aegis of the Chief Incumbent Aggamahapandita Ven. Galayaye Piyadassi Nayake Thera.
Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner to the UK Saroja Sirisena and members of the staff at the High Commission of Sri Lanka in London participated the Poson celebrations organised at the temple on June 24, 2021.
The 65ft tall pandal which is the largest Poson pandal ever displayed in Europe was opened by High Commissioner Sirisena. It was displayed at the forecourt of the temple premises for one week.
The money collected from the generous donors who visited the pandal will be donated to the underprivileged families affected by Covid-19 in Sri Lanka, a release from the High Commission stated.
