77th National Independence Day of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka celebrates the gaining of her independence from Colonial rule with magnificent pomp and pageantry. The spirit of patriotism resonates in every street corner on the island’s National Day. The national flag is hoisted, the national anthem is sung, the traditional lamp is lit, and the processions begin, complete with meticulously coordinated military parades, the firing of canons, and various religious and cultural performances. All these efforts are a tribute to the forefathers of the land for their glorious feat.

The celebrations, open to all, continue year after year, signifying the continued united efforts as the people of one nation come together to celebrate Sri Lanka’s cherished sovereignty.
