At this event, farmers from all parts of the country come to Anuradhapura to offer rice collected from every agrarian service center in the country to the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi.
The purpose of this new rice festival is to ensure the prosperity of the crops for the upcoming Yala season and to seek the blessings of the Buddha for the production of food for the consumption of the farmers as well as all the people of the country.
