In celebration of this year’s Sinhala & Tamil New Year, the flagship property of Sri
Lanka’s leading property developer, The Grand Ward Place, hosted an exclusive, multicultural evening of
festivities on 8 th April, 2021 at the Hilton, Colombo.
The gala event was graced by Her Worship, the mayor of Colombo, Mrs. Rosy Senanayake together
with Ambassador/ Charge d’Affaires of the Embassy of UAE, H.E. Humaid Darwish Al Tamimi, and other
prominent personalities along with the members of Prime Group. The event kicked off with the warm
welcome of guests by the lighting of traditional oil lamps set on each table; a distinctive and heartfelt
start which signified the equal significance given to all invitees present at the event.
The evening was elevated and brought to life with traditional oriental music and exciting dance items
representing the best of both Sinhala and Tamil cultures. Guests were treated to a generous, diverse
and indulgent feast of fusion cuisine including an array mouthwatering sweet and savoury dishes, and
desserts inspired by both cultures. The Group also announced its planning of broad basing the
shareholders of its condominium property arm, Prime Lands Residencies.
“Sri Lanka is a melting pot of various cultures, ethnicities and religions. This is what makes our country
great, its diverse people coming together to celebrate their differences. At its core, the Grand is an
exceptional living space curated by a team with roots in multiple communities. So this Avurudhu, we
wanted to create an evening that brought together the finest attributes of these two communities and
cultures to deliver an unforgettable experience that sparks inspiration and civic pride,” stated Prime
Group Chairman, Premalal Brahmanage.
