Head of Religious and Cultural Events

Our two-day Katina Ceremony begins with Pirith chanting and prayers on Friday, 30 October, from 7 to 9 pm at Lankarama Temple. 🙏

On Saturday, 31 October, come walk alongside our peacock float in the Perahera from 9:30 to 10:30 am. The programme continues with dana, robe stitching and an evening Katina Anisansa Deshana. We’d love a hand preparing for the parade, assisting with dana or packing up. 🦚

In the spirit of reconciliation, the Lankarama Buddhist Youth Group acknowledges the Dharug people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Lankarama Buddhist Vihara is situated on, and their continuing connection to Country. We also acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
