SLT-MOBITEL transformed this year's Poson Poya celebrations in Anuradhapura through its 'Sadaham Sabendiyava' initiative, introducing a series of immersive 5G-powered digital experiences that brought devotees closer to the spiritual and cultural significance of one of Sri Lanka's most sacred Buddhist observances.
Powered by SLT-MOBITEL's 5G network for the first time in Sri Lanka, the initiative combined cutting-edge technology with religious heritage to create engaging experiences that enabled devotees to celebrate Poson in meaningful new ways.
A key attraction was the illuminated Water Pandol at the historic Basawakkulama Lake, which vividly depicted the arrival of Great Arahant Mahinda Thero and the introduction of Buddhism to Sri Lanka. The visually captivating installation allowed visitors to relive a defining moment in the country's Buddhist history through an innovative digital presentation.
The experience was further enhanced by a 3D Interactive Tunnel, where visitors explored immersive visual storytelling powered by SLT-MOBITEL's high-speed 5G connectivity. The attraction showcased how next-generation technology can enrich cultural narratives while creating memorable and interactive experiences for the public.
As part of the Poson celebrations, SLT-MOBITEL also introduced Digital Greeting experiences, enabling devotees to share Poson blessings with family and friends through digital platforms, demonstrating how technology can strengthen traditions while keeping loved ones connected.
Embracing the spirit of generosity that defines Poson, the company organised several community initiatives, including a Data Dansala and an Ice Cream Dansala, providing both digital connectivity and refreshments to thousands of devotees visiting the sacred city.
The programme was attended by SLT Group Chairman Dr. Mothilal de Silva, senior members of the management team and numerous devotees, highlighting the company's commitment to blending Sri Lanka's cultural heritage with technological innovation.
As Sri Lanka's National ICT Solutions Provider, SLT-MOBITEL continues to position technology as a catalyst for preserving and enhancing the country's cultural and religious traditions. Through initiatives such as Sadaham Sabendiyava, the company demonstrates that digital innovation extends beyond connectivity by creating meaningful experiences that strengthen community bonds and celebrate national heritage.
By harnessing the capabilities of 5G technology, SLT-MOBITEL continues to create immersive experiences that connect people not only through advanced digital solutions but also through shared faith, culture and tradition, ensuring Sri Lanka's rich heritage remains vibrant and accessible for future generations.
