SLT-MOBITEL’s initiative, ‘Sadaham Sabendiyava,’ introduced an innovative approach to the revered Poson Poya festivities in Anuradhapura. Utilizing SLT-MOBITEL’s 5G technology for the first time in Sri Lanka, this program featured a variety of immersive digital activities that allowed participants to engage with one of the nation’s most important religious events in new and meaningful ways. At the historic Basawakkulama Lake, a stunning illuminated Water Pandol depicted the arrival of Great Arahant Mahinda Thero and the introduction of the Dhamma, enabling worshippers to connect with a pivotal moment in Sri Lanka’s Buddhist history.
The immersive experience continued with a 3D Interactive Tunnel, showcasing the capabilities of SLT-MOBITEL’s 5G network. This engaging environment illustrated how advanced connectivity can enhance storytelling and foster memorable communal experiences. Additionally, the company launched Digital Greeting features for Poson Poya, providing a thoughtful means for devotees to send blessings to loved ones, highlighting the role of technology in preserving traditions and nurturing important relationships. In line with the generous spirit associated with Poson, SLT-MOBITEL also organized events such as Data Dansala and Ice Cream Dansala for attendees.
With participation from SLT Group Chairman Dr. Mothilal de Silva and other senior executives, the initiative encouraged devotees to unite in faith while showcasing how innovation can enrich shared experiences. By merging the country’s rich cultural legacy with cutting-edge digital technology, SLT-MOBITEL reaffirmed its dedication to ensuring that Sri Lanka’s traditions continue to inspire and connect future generations in an increasingly digital age.
This initiative underscores SLT-MOBITEL’s broader mission of empowering Sri Lanka through digital advancements. As the nation’s National ICT Solutions Provider, SLT-MOBITEL emphasizes that technology serves a purpose beyond mere connectivity. By leveraging the strength of its network during culturally and spiritually significant moments, the company is helping ensure that Sri Lanka’s heritage is not only preserved but also experienced in more inclusive, engaging, and impactful manners.
