First of all I would like to thank @harferri and this community for organizing such a challenge as the new years approaches.Actually, with the dawn of a new year, the first thing we do is to welcome the new year and celebrate it.So, the first thing that leaves us an unforgettable memory in the new year is the celebration of the new year.

The dawn of the new year

New Year's milk overflow

Milk overflowis an important part of Sinhala culture. It is an ancient Hela culture to Kiri Ithirima at the dawn of the New Year in one auspicious event. It is imperative that this Kiri Ithirima be done in an auspicious moment Is. At the dawn of the Sinhala Hindu New Year, the Kiri Ithirima takes place at the dawn of the new year.We will also do this at midnight when the year 2022 ends and the year 2023 dawns.

Process of New Year's milk overflow

Three fresh bricks should also be selected when tying the pots to Kiri Ithirima. Black stones, block stones, gas cookers etc. should never be used for this purpose. The stove, made of three fresh bricks, should be placed on an iron plate in the middle of the living room. The ancient book mentions several species of firewood selected for burning. These include fragrant cinnamon, white sandalwood, red sandalwood, cedar, agave, frankincense, and citrus. But in today's society it is not bad to use firewood available in the market which is difficult to find such species of firewood. But once the stove is fire, care must be taken not to let goes down the fire in the stove. It is very unfortunate that when the milk jug is placed in the stove, the pot goes out. However, once the milk pot is placed in the stove, it is not advisable to blow the stove by mouth to increase the wood burning. This requires the use of another device.

New Year's food table

It is traditional to prepare such a table on the morning of the first day of the new year.For this food table, other delicious dishes are prepared based on milk rice.To mark an auspicious moment in my country, milk rice is definitely prepared. Also, to start the new year auspiciously, milk rice food is prepared like this and added to the breakfast.Also, everyone enjoys this food based on the head of the house or the head of their workplace.I presented the food table prepared by my wife and mother based on the head of our house.
