It's the traditional new year time here again in Sri Lanka. I find this new year celebration fascinating because it is celebrated at a particular time of the day (which changes every year) as opposed to midnight. The tradition is celebrated among Budhhists as well as Hindus in Sri Lanka. You can read more about how the timings are calculated in two of my old posts: http://galileoscamera.blogspot.com/2013/04/math-of-astrology-1.html http://galileoscamera.blogspot.com/2013/04/math-of-astrology-2-sinhalahindu-new.html
