Avurudu Salpila

Mallika Nivasa Samithiya has given its annual Avurudu Salpila 'a face lift' this year.
A mini 'Kala Pola' will be set up at the venue. Those who missed out on the annual event at Ananda Coomaraswamy Mawatha can walk into Mallika Nivasa to feast their eyes on some artistic displays by some of our budding local artists, and perhaps purchase some of their work.
Apart from this another novel feature will be a fancy dress competitition for children under 15 years of age.
The sumptuous vegetarian buffet is always a big draw at the salpila.
Several other stalls will be set up to sell household linen, Indian sarees, books, toys, stationery, plants etc. as well as Avurudu sweetmeats. In addition a collection of well used crockery and cutlery items will be on sale at giveaway prices. So on Friday, April 2 walk down to Mallika Nivasa at 45, Visakha Road, Colombo 4 to treat yourself to some unusual bargains from 9.30 a.m. onwards.
