Dear all,
It is that time of the year again!
The team that has been bringing you the beautiful Wesak Lanterns for the past five years has been busily working behind the scenes for the past three months to bring you another incredible creation - one that has never been seen in Western Australia!
This year, the team consisting of about 70 volunteers is proud to present the Perth Wesak Pandal depicting the life events of Lord Buddha. The magnificent structure is made of all hand drawn paintings and is illuminated by over 4500 flashing colour lights.
Along with the team involved, I am proud to invite you and your family to this special occasion. This will be a fun and vibrant way for your children to learn about Sri Lankan Buddhist culture.
The opening is scheduled for:
WHEN: Saturday, 25 May 2013 at 6.30pm
WHERE: Sri Lankan Buddhist Temple
(78 Austin Av, Kenwick)
The ideal location to view this is from the grass area between the 'in' and 'out' driveway.
The appearance of the pandal at the initial illumination is somewhat different to the other times. Similar to the opening of fireworks, if you miss the opening there won't be an opportunity to witness the opening of WAs first Wesak Pandal again.
This display is partially funded by the Office of Multicultural Interests, Department of Local Governments.
Thank you,
Chandradasa Hewage
