For over 50 years, Laksala has promoted the Sri Lankan heritage and local artisans keeping their traditions alive up to the present era. The colourful variety of products offered by Laksala has earned the appreciation of local and foreign customers over the years. For the first time in its history, Laksala has introduced a special Avurudu promotion with exciting activities and discounts. This promotion is the brainchild of its new Chairman/CEO Hasitha Tillekeratne, who is keen to popularise local arts, crafts, traditions and products.

The special Avurudu promotion will continue from 20 March to 20 April. There will be fabulous discounts of 10-50% on selected items such as carved furniture, leather products, pottery, ceramics, teas and herbal products, aromatic joss sticks, elephant dung paper, silverware and locally-weaved sarees. Sampath cardholders are eligible for discounts of 25% on all items. Laksala invites families to celebrate the unique heritage of the Sinhala-Tamil New Year, which has been faithfully observed since time immemorial. This unique Avurudu event will be held from 6 to 11 April from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at their showrooms in Thunmulla, Museum Gallery Café and Battaramulla. A wonderful range of activities have been organised. Children can join in to play the rabana while their mothers learn to prepare delicacies like kavum, kokis and mung aluva in the traditional village style. Among the special activities organised for children are pottery painting, reed craft demonstration, mask painting and Avurudu games.
