    Hi DaveMani, in Jaffna Diwali is not the biggest festival it more kind of Indian festival. The biggest festival is Tamil Pongal and that’s comes during the 2rd week of January 14/15. If go there during that time it is different experience.

      Correction - Diwali is definitely NOT the biggest celebration in Sri Lanka. It’s not even one of the biggest celebrations. Diwali is celebrated by Hindu Tamils and Tamils are a very little minority in Sri Lanka.
      Sri Lanka is a Sinhala Buddhist country! Big celebrations in Sri Lanka are Sinhala Buddhist celebrations like vesak/wesak poya and other poya days, Sinhala new year celebrated in April every year etc.

      As a Buddhist Sri Lankan I love to see all celebrations. Because that is our culture. Buddhists, Tamils, Muslims, Christians, Burgers and malays we all enjoy these celebrations. In jaffna they celebrate Vesak. We Sinhalese people go to the Theru festival every year. We attend in 'pooja' in Kovils. We get food from muslims whenever they celebrate. We celebrate Christmas. Sri Lanka has the world record of making the tallest Christmas tree in the world. So don't say this is the biggest, that is the biggest. Every celebration create our Sri Lankan culture.❤🇱🇰

However Christians is a highly commercialised religious festival in the world today & mainly vendors & business places strongly highlight this to sell their product & services during this period.

    As a female, requests to pose in family pictures is a common occurrence in Asia, particularly if you have blonde hair. It can happen at any age. In China they sometimes hand you their baby to hold in a picture. It also happened to me on the islands of Lake Titicaca where an extended family of about 30 took it in turns to pose in various groups to get a photo with me. Half an hour later, I escaped 😂. Glad you are enjoying Sri Lanka

      ​@@All_About_Cocas i understand, Muslim is a person who follows Islam religion and they can be of different ethnicities. Largest ethnic group of Muslims are Moors but they can also be Malay, Memon, Bohra etc 😊
      And Tamils are an ethnic group not a religion! Majority of Tamils are Hindus, but there are many Christian/ Catholic Tamils too. I dunno any Tamils who are Buddhist (bit unlikely i guess!) But how come there are no Muslim Tamils?? Especially those in highly Muslim-concentrated areas like Batticaloa or Trincomalee?? Or even Puttalam i guess?

      @@minervarose7664 It's like this, only we(Moors) inherited the language from Tamils. We are Sri lankan Moors. There are Christian Tamils because their lineage is from them. Same with Sinhalese Christians. Our ethnicity is Sri lankan Moors.
