A select number of policyholders of Ceylinco Life received an unexpected treat recently when they were invited by the life insurance leader to an exclusive viewing of the Esala Perahera in Kandy with refreshments and dinner.
The invitees, all members of the Ceylinco Life Premium Club, had a vantage view of the spectacular pageant from a specially-erected platform at the company’s Kandy branch at No. 65, King’s Street, in the heart of the hill country capital.
Policyholders and their families from many parts of Sri Lanka, including Galle, Embilipitiya, Meegahakiula, Colombo and Anuradhapura came together to enjoy the perahera and the hospitality of Ceylinco Life, with catering by Amaya Hills, Kandy.
Each family also received a framed photograph with the perahera as a backdrop as a souvenir of the event. For many of them, it was their first viewing of the Kandy Perahera.
