3rd February 2026 Colombo
Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka's #1 connectivity provider, reaffirms its commitment to preserving national heritage by sponsoring the Gangaramaya Navam Maha Perahera for the fourteenth consecutive year, supporting a revered religious celebration while advancing cultural patronage, community stewardship, and corporate responsibility that strengthens shared values and continuity across Sri Lanka.
The annual Gangaramaya Navam Maha Perahera, one of Sri Lanka’s most significant religious and cultural expressions, was held on 31st January and 1st February, drawing thousands of devotees and visitors to the historic Gangaramaya Temple in Colombo. As a long-term patron, Dialog’s continued sponsorship enables the seamless conduct of this eminent Perahera while reinforcing its role as a leading corporate advocate of Sri Lankan culture and heritage.
Beyond the Gangaramaya Navam Maha Perahera, Dialog has been a long-term patron of many significant national events including the Kandy Esala Perahara, Kelaniya Duruthu Festival, Katharagama Esala Perahara and Gatabaru Esala Perahara. These efforts align with the company’s broader heritage preservation initiatives, which include constructing the vestibule for the Dimbulagala Aranya Senasanaya, launching a website and directory of Amarapura Maha Nikaya Temples, and restoring the Anuradhapura Maha Vihara Sannipatha Shalawa.
