SLT-MOBITEL’s ‘Sadaham Sabendiyava’ brought a new dimension to the sacred Poson Poya celebrations in Anuradhapura. Powered by SLT-MOBITEL 5G technology for the first time in Sri Lanka, the initiative featured a series of immersive digital experiences that enabled devotees to celebrate one of Sri Lanka’s most cherished religious observances in meaningful new ways. At the historic Basawakkulama Lake, a striking illuminated Water Pandol brought to life the arrival of Great Arahant Mahinda Thero and the introduction of the Dhamma, allowing devotees to connect with a defining moment in the nation’s Buddhist heritage.

The experience continued through a 3D Interactive Tunnel, where the capabilities of SLT-MOBITEL 5G network delivered an engaging, immersive environment that demonstrated how next-generation connectivity can enrich storytelling and create memorable shared experiences. The company also introduced Digital Greeting engagements for Poson Poya, offering devotees a thoughtful way to send blessings to family and friends, showing how technology can help preserve traditions while strengthening the bonds that matter most. In keeping with the spirit of giving that defines Poson, SLT-MOBITEL further organised a series of events including Data Dansala and an Ice Cream Dansala for devotees.

With the participation of SLT Group Chairman Dr. Mothilal de Silva and senior management of SLT-MOBITEL, the initiative invited devotees to come together in faith while demonstrating how innovation can deepen shared experiences. By blending the country's rich cultural heritage with advanced digital technology, SLT-MOBITEL reinforced its commitment to ensuring Sri Lanka's traditions continue to inspire and connect generations in an increasingly digital world.

The initiatives reflect SLT-MOBITEL's broader role in empowering Sri Lanka through digital innovation. As the country's National ICT Solutions Provider, SLT-MOBITEL believes technology has a greater purpose beyond connectivity. By applying the strength of its network to moments of cultural and spiritual significance, the company is helping ensure that Sri Lanka's heritage is not only preserved but also experienced in more inclusive, engaging and meaningful ways.

Through ‘Sadaham Sabendiyava’, SLT-MOBITEL demonstrated how technology can enrich cherished traditions, creating meaningful moments that bring people closer to their faith, heritage and one another. By harnessing the possibilities of 5G, the company continues to create experiences that connect people not only through technology, but through shared culture and emotion.
