cool drinks and yogurt dansal

People queue at cool drinks and yogurt dansal stalls near Gangaramaya Temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on May 30, 2026, during Vesak Poya Day celebrations. Organized by devotees and community groups, the dansal stalls provide free refreshments to the public in keeping with Vesak traditions, which commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana (passing away) of the Buddha.
